It sounds like Loon will be hiring more patrollers next year. So, if
you are a current patroller looking for a new area, or if you are
interested in patrolling, now is the time to start working on it.
If you are interested, please try to come up to Loon before the end of
the ski season and ski with the patrol director and get yourself and
you abilities known. If you don't have the right first aid, they can
help you find a place to get it.
If you wait until next year, it will be too late.
Loon Ski Patrol is a "paid" patrol. Plus, after 4 years of service,
you also get tickets in addition to the paycheck. Hours next year may
be a bit more flexible. This year, on your scheduled days, you have to
be ready to ski at 7:00am, and usually are done at about 4:30.
If you have any questions, please let me know!
Cheers,
jeff

| Not to steal Jeffs spotlight, but Okemo is also definitly in search
of patrollers. Same deal as Jeff said, come on up and ski with us
for part of a day. If you have the basic skills required to haul
sleds, we'll help you get the first aid.
Okemo is a volunteer patrol. 24 days per season (2 in Oct for refresher,
2 in Nov, 4 each in Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, 2 in April and two additional
training days taken any time). In return for your time you get a
season pass for you and your spouse. Each subsequent year you get an
additional season pass for your children. You also get 2 comp passes
per year, 50% off food in the lodges and Prioritys restaurant, 20% off
merchandise in the ski shop, and most important, one hell of a lot of fun
while your working. If interested, please contact me for more information
or call Okemo at 802-228-4041, ask for Mary Hoyne, ski patrol director.
If you don't want to do the first aid part, or don't think you could haul
sleds, we also have a patrol ambassador program which I think has similar
requirements and benefits, you do everything patrollers do, just don't run
accidents. You may assist on them, just won't run em. Also, if you want
to put your kids to work (14-18 year olds), we have a junior patrol (they
call em Patrollers in Training or PITs - I hate that name). Same as
ambassadors, except absolutly nothing to do with accidents, and they get
a few hours off during the day (child labor laws?). Same points of contact
for more information.
Lastly, if you (or someone you know) have very strong EMS skills, or maybe are a
nurse, or physcian, and would like to work in the First Aid Room, the same benifit
package is available, and likely for fewer days committed. The Nurses work 13
days I think. These positions can be negotiated to some extent, depending on what
skills you bring. Again, contact Mary Hoyne.
