Snowy Range Ski Patrol

Welcome to the Fall 2005 Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) Course Website for the Snowy Range and Medicine Bow Nordic ski patrols. If you are interested in becoming a patroller, here's how to get started:

Get to know the patrols a little bit (one-page FAQs for the Snowy Range Alpine Ski Patrol and Medicine Bow Nordic Ski Patrol, and the National Ski Patrol website).
Review the Daily Schedule for the OEC Course. Completion of OEC is the essential first step for a ski patrol candidate. Note that you will be committing a large amount of formal coursework time to this effort. ATTENDANCE AT ALL SESSIONS IS MANDATORY. We guarantee the time will be well spent!
Review the Individual Approximated Anticipated Costs for the OEC Course. These costs include registration fees as well as text and first-aid materials for the course. Each candidate is responsible for covering all costs. NOTE: costs for volunteer ski patrolling get a lot cheaper after OEC. ALSO NOTE: your instructors are all volunteers. They've all been in your shoes, and they will strive to make this the best experience possible.
Complete the OEC Candidate Application Questionnaire (in either Word or PDF format) and email or USmail to the recipient noted on the form.
Plan to attend the Intro to Patrol and Interview Meeting, Monday, September 12, drop-in anytime 6-8pm, Laramie Fire Department Substation #2 Public Meeting Room, located at 1558 N. 23rd Street. You will be contacted soon after this meeting regarding the opportunity for continuation with the OEC Course.
