Ski Patrol Jobs Overview
Do you wish you could get paid to ski but without the frequent travel that comes with training professional skiers? Consider looking into ski patrol jobs. As a member of a ski patrol, you’ll serve the important role of protecting the public from accidents and injuries, while enjoying beautiful scenery, fresh air, and plenty of exercise along the way.
Ski patrol members reduce skiing accidents and injuries by informing skiers of safety protocols and responding to medical and safety emergencies on the mountains. They often also work to mitigate avalanche risk by using explosives to release snow. So if you have an adventurous personality, joining a ski patrol could be an interesting job for you. While it’s likely that you’ll be on a pair of skis most of the time, ski patrollers can also travel by snowboard or snowmobile.
Due to the nature of the job, being on a ski patrol is a seasonal job, but there are places in the U.S. that see snow for a large part of the year. By combining skiing in the winter with another outdoor job in a wilderness resort during the summer, such as a lifeguard, you can make a living spending most of your days outside.
Also consider searching for other jobs in protective services, for example:
Training and Skills for a Ski Patrol Job
Ski patrollers must be in good physical health and be either skilled skiers (for most jobs) or snowboarders. You’ll need to be prepared for all sorts of weather and ready to spend most of your working days on the move and outdoors. You’ll also need to be comfortable performing basic emergency care, work well under pressure, have a calming personality, and work well with others, as ski patrollers often work in teams.
Ski patrol jobs don’t usually require higher education, but you’ll need to complete training to qualify. Typically, this means getting an Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) certificate from the National Ski Patrol and renewing it every year to maintain your certification. If you’re an EMT, you can take a fast-track version to get your certificate. An EMT license will also replace some of the other requirements, which can include:
- Bloodborne Pathogens Training, for example from the American Heart Association
- CPR certification, for example from Red Cross
- AED certification, for example from the National Association of Sports Medicine
- good skiing abilities
- being able to lift about 50 pounds
- passing a vision test
- meeting an age requirement, typically 18 or 21

How Much Do Ski Patrol Jobs Pay?
The median salary of ski patrollers, lifeguards, and other protective services workers is $12.32 an hour, according to the BLS.
