Safety is a primary concern at Soldier Mountain. Our Ski Patrol provides skier/rider safety education information and, in the event of an accident on the mountain, patrol members are are trained to provide outdoor emergency care.
The National Ski Patrol is a member-driven professional organization of registered ski patrols, patrollers and others, both paid and volunteer. The NSP supports its members through credentialed education and training in leadership, outdoor emergency care, safety and transportation services, which enables members to serve the community in the safe enjoyment of outdoor recreation. The Soldier Mountain Ski Patrol is primarily a volunteer organization and a member of the National Ski Patrol. You can find Ski Patrol members providing first aid and support during the ski season at Soldier Mountain Ski Area, and year around at Mountain Bike and Community Events in Southern Idaho. Outdoor Emergency Care® is the NSP’s award-winning training program for patrollers and others in the recreation community who deal with emergency situations. This nationally recognized program is designed to help you manage the toughest emergencies, in all seasons. Developed in the late 1980s for the 26,000 members of the National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care is a training program that is tailored to the nonurban rescuer. Over the years, OEC has evolved to address the needs of other outdoor-based emergency care providers too, including wilderness medical technicians, river rafting and mountaineering guides, members of search and rescue groups, mountain bike patrollers, and parks and recreation employees. Today, OEC is considered the standard of training for emergency care in the outdoor environment and is recognized by resorts and recreational facilities in all 50 states. |
