Patrol History

Snö Mountain Ski Patrol, formerly The Montage Ski Patrol originated in the weeks before the newly built Montage Mountain Ski Area was about to open in December of 1984. The 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 rest 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 when another group of candidates came on. The season ended with a patrol of over 50 members. Our patrol has flourished to just under 100 patrollers.
