 The Hyak Ski Patrol is a group of
dedicated volunteers, brought together by our love of the outdoors, and the desire to help other people. If on the way, we have some fun, so much the better. Doctors,
Lawyers, Teachers, Mechanics, Fire Fighters, Contractors, Students, Nurses, Computer programmers, Salesmen, Homemakers and Retired Professionals. Members of the Hyak Ski Patrol are
diverse and have been specifically trained for the demanding task of rescuing and caring for injured or ill patients in the outdoors, alpine and winter environments.
Many times ones joining the ski patrol is motivated through a desire to "give back to the community". It soon becomes so much more. Friendships established through ski
patrol last a lifetime and through generations. On the Hyak Ski Patrol, we have many patrollers that are second and even third generation patrollers. Members of the Hyak
Ski Patrol still have the sense of small town. That's what skiing used to be all about, that's the heritage we still live.
As a volunteer organization, we do not charge for our services. However, there are considerable expenses in running an organization such as ours. We are in need of
anatomical training models as well as charts and other learning aids to facilitate our Outdoor Emergency Care Course. We are in constant communication with all
patrollers using business-band radios, which need to be kept in top running condition, at considerable expense. Additionally, these radios are slated for obsolescence as
communications move to the digital realm.
Please feel free to wander around our web site. See what it is we do. You will see
photos of training, free skiing and socializing as well. Are you interested in helping others? Do you want an added dimension to your skiing or snow boarding experience
We are currently looking at adding members to our Nordic Patrol. Contact us today
