The Loveland Ski Patrol consists of both paid and volunteer patrollers. The Volunteer Ski Patrol is always looking for advanced to expert alpine and telemark skiers and riders who want to be a part of an organization dedicated to helping fellow skiers while enjoying America's favorite winter sport.

The Patrol provides training in NSP Outdoor Emergency Care first aid and alpine toboggan training. Loveland's 160 volunteer patrollers are men and women aged 18 to 70+, married and single, all with an appreciation for each other and a love of skiing. The Patrol also sponsors a Young Adult Patroller program for youth age 15-17.

An enthusiastic group of National Ski Patrol (NSP) leaders, consisting of the board of directors and division directors, gathered at the Sheraton West in Lakewood June 25-26, 2010 to discuss and strategize on critical issues facing the NSP.  For more information, go to Member News at www.nsp.org.

In response to input from several divisions, as well as Scott Marland and David Ginley of the planning committee, the board approved RFBA 16-10, which was submitted by the Rocky Mountain division. This RFBA requests that the focus of the board be on fundraising to ensure that all instructors will get their own copy of the OEC 5th edition at no charge.
