Does the thought of high-angle rescues, snow science, avalanche mitigation, lift evacuation and trauma response excite you?
If so, you may be a candidate for the Sun Valley Ski Patrol.
The patrol, which bills itself as “America’s first and finest ski patrol,” is holding a hiring clinic at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 2. Would-be patrollers should gather, boots on and ready to go, at the bottom of the Roundhouse Gondola outside River Run Lodge.
Candidates will ski with patrol on various terrain as they learn about day-to-day responsibilities. A day ticket will be provided for those who do not have a season pass.
