This is definitely not what we teach in class… or may it is…

While the real Paoli Peaks Ski Patrol is all about safety, teamwork, and saving the day — we do know how to have a little fun. If this kind of energy speaks to you, maybe it’s time to suit up.

🎿 Ski Patrol Class begins August 7
⛑️ No medical experience? No problem.
❄️ Can you ski without using the snow fence as a brake? Even better.

💬 Quotes from the crew:
🧘 “Balance is everything. Even on a rescue toboggan.” – Kevin, definitely not certified to teach yoga

🍔 “You never patrol hungry. Ever.” – Tina, mid-bite, mid-slope

🎿 “I thought this was a sled race tryout?” – Derek, relaxing on duty

🐒 “They said piggyback rides weren’t professional. I disagree.” – Lindsey, morale captain
