About the Montage Ski Patrol

Montage Mountain Ski Patrol  originated in the weeks before the newly built Montage  Mountain Ski Area was about to open in December of 1984

The newly formed patrol was headed initially by Sandy Scull  and assisted by Al Evans who later replaced Sandy as patrol  director.   

Besides these two National Ski Patrollers, there where five other NSP members which transferred to this newly formed  patrol from other mountains.  The remainder of the patrol  was made up of 35 candidates who had just completed their  Red Cross Advanced First aid class. They were trained to NSP Standards and upgraded to basic patrollers by early January 1985 when another group of candidates came on  board. The season ended with a patrol of over 50 members.

We are a member-driven professional organization.  Our members strive to be recognized as premier providers, emergency rescuers and educators in the ski and outdoor recreation community.    To meet that goal, and promote the safe enjoyment of snow sport enthusiasts, Montage Mountain Ski Patrol supports its members through accredited education  and training in leadership, outdoor emergency care, safety programs and transportation services.  Our Core Values Include:  Excellence,  Service,  Camaraderie,  Leadership,  Integrity,  Responsiveness and  Fun!
