As a candidate you will go through 4 steps to join the our team. Pass a ski check at Sugar Bowl. Attend candidate training sessions at Sugar Bowl on the 2nd and 4th weekend during the season. Pass Sugar Bowl's OEC, Ski and Toboggan test in the spring. Once you pass your candidate test maintaining membership requires that you patrol 14 days a year and attend our two day refresher.
All requirements can be meet on weekends.
Though Sugar Bowl has some very challenging terrain you do not have to be an Olympic prospect to join the patrol. We are looking for skiers that can competently negotiate all of our terrain in a strong stable manner. Ski checks are available most weekends. We are sorry, but we cannot provide you with a complimentary lift ticket for your ski check. If you do not meet our skiing standards you can still participate in the Sugar Bowl Ski Patrol as an auxiliary patroller.
