Summit

What patrols comprise the PNWD? Five geographic regions in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho comprise the Pacific Northwest Division of NSP: Inland Empire (10 patrols), Mt Hood (7 patrols), Northwest (9 patrols), Oregon (6 patrols), and Southern Idaho (7 patrols). There are just over 2000 registered patrollers in the PNWD.

What is the PNWD Convention? The PNWD Convention rotates among the five geographic regions. It is primarily the business meeting for the division. The general meeting with all the PDs (Patrol Directors) in all the regions, the region RDs(Region Directors), and the executive board is on Sunday morning. In addition to that meeting, there is an educational program on Saturday with breakout sessions on all disciplines and the awards dinner on Saturday night.

Should you go the Convention? Sure. This year's convention, I-5 Summit: Elevation No Limits, will be held in Wilsonville, OR on August 7-9.  Click here for more info.

Pacific Northwest Division, National Ski Patrol

The National Ski Patrol (NSP) is a Federally Chartered nonprofit membership association dedicated to serving the public and the mountain recreation industry by providing education services about emergency care and safety.

NSP also reaches members through nationally funded education materials and programs, division newsletters, and local clinics. Through its divisions, NSP conducts training events to supplement training provided by the ski areas. This cooperative effort ensures that members are serving the needs of area management while staying in tune with a nationally standardized system.

Vision Statement: The Pacific Northwest Division is the foremost ski patroller association comprised of volunteer and paid patrollers in the host ski areas, dedicated to maintaining performance standards in the ski patrol environment. The main purpose of the ski patroller is to deliver up-dated first aid and rescue services to the skiing and outdoor-recreation public. The Pacific Northwest Division is an integral part of the National Ski Patrol Systems, Inc.
