Empowering the Next Generation of Ski Patrol Leaders!
Join us on March 8, 2026, for Junior Ladies Patrol Day, proudly presented by Helly Hansen at Sun Peaks Resort.
An event designed to introduce young women and members of the LGBTQ+ community to the exciting world of ski patrol and the ski industry! This event aims to inspire and educate young women ages 12 to 18 about the many essential roles within the ski patrol team, while fostering a sense of empowerment, teamwork, and confidence. Our patrol and dispatch team will provide an opportunity to learn new skills, meet inspiring role models, and experience first-hand the vital work that keeps the mountain safe.
Throughout the day, participants will dive into the exciting world of ski patrol through fun, demonstrative, interactive stations and activities led by professional patrol members. Here’s an overview of the day, and a look at the workshops and the skills you will learn:

- Clinic Tour and First Aid: Watch basic first-aid demonstrations for handling common ski injuries in a mountain environment, and the vehicles used to transport those injured.
- Toboggan Demonstrations: Learn how ski patrollers work together to safely transport injured skiers down the mountain with toboggans and sleds.
- Teamwork and Leadership: Through each activity, you'll also develop teamwork and leadership skills as you work together with other girls to solve challenges and support each other.
