Nordic Patrols
Nordic Ski Patrolling includes a tremendous variety of activities. In the Midwest, much of our patrolling is to cover races: we either ski along the course, offering help as needed and evacuating injured racers, or we man aid stations and help as people come to us. We also patrol trail networks attached to destination resorts.

Bike Patrols
Many skiers enjoy biking during the warmer months, so it’s a natural fit to use those same first responder skills as part of Bike Patrols.
