OEC Classes Forming NOW!
Southern California OEC classes are being scheduled and accepting sign ups. Classes tend to start in the middle of July. If you have friends or family interested in becoming a patroller, or you know someone you think should be wearing our colors, please pass this information along.
Outdoor Emergency Care® is the NSP’s award-winning training program for patrollers and others in the recreation community who deal with emergency situations. This nationally recognized program is designed to help you manage the toughest emergencies, in all seasons. Developed in the late 1980s for the 26,000 members of the National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care is a training program that is tailored to the nonurban rescuer. Over the years, OEC has evolved to address the needs of other outdoor-based emergency care providers too, including wilderness medical technicians, river rafting and mountaineering guides, members of search and rescue groups, mountain bike patrollers, and parks and recreation employees. Today, OEC is considered the standard of training for emergency care in the outdoor environment and is recognized by resorts and recreational facilities in all 50 states.
If you are interested in attending an OEC class near you please contact the instructor of record listed below.
Curious about Patrolling?
Ski patrollers are first on the hill each morning, and are last off after verifying that all runs are cleared of guests. Signs, Skier Awareness Devices, boundary lines are monitored throughout the day, while patrollers stand ready for any medical emergencies that may arise.
Mountain High Ski Patrol actively recruits and trains individuals that are interested in becoming patrollers.
Ski with a patroller. Take a run, ride a chair and ask questions; or better yet, shadow a patroller for the day.
