Patroller wellness is a part of mountain safety.

Through our Patroller Wellness Program, NSP members can access resources that support stress management, traumatic incident response, and a stronger culture of wellness across patrol teams.

Ski patrollers respond in challenging environments, make decisions under pressure, and support people during difficult moments. That work requires more than technical skill—it also requires resilience, awareness, and support.

Outdoor First Care starts with readiness.

NSP’s OFC course prepares mountain and bike hosts to support outdoor recreation by teaching basic first aid and patient care skills.

As part of NSP’s education offerings, OFC helps build confidence in the field—giving hosts the tools to recognize incidents, assist guests, and support safer experiences in mountain and trail environments.

It’s another way NSP training strengthens the people who serve outdoor communities.

As part of the OEC Refresher, patrollers participate in hands-on skills sessions that apply emergency care knowledge to real-world practice.

Across the country, patrollers are participating in field-based scenarios and other assessments to test the skills they rely on when responding to incidents in challenging outdoor environments.

It’s one more way NSP education helps prepare patrollers to better assist ski area guests.

Halfway through summer, and we’re already thinking about snow.

While we wait for winter, patrollers across the country are preparing for the season ahead through NSP's education programs, which help build the skills they rely on in the field.

So what does that mean when the snow returns? It means stronger rescue readiness, sharper emergency care, and better decision-making.

The turns will be back soon. Patrollers are already getting ready.

NSP’s new Annual Outdoor Emergency Care Refresher is now live, marking an important step in how patrollers maintain the emergency care skills they rely on in the field.

The updated refresher strengthens annual training through in-depth content, hands-on skills practice, and elective learning tied to core competencies. It helps ensure patrollers stay current, prepared, and ready to respond in the dynamic outdoor environments where they serve.

As riders return to trails, parks, and lift-accessed terrain, NSP-trained bike patrollers support safe outdoor recreation.

Through NSP’s Bike Program, they build the skills needed to respond in dynamic summer environments—from rider assistance and incident response to trail awareness and on-scene decision-making. Their education prepares them to serve wherever outdoor recreation takes them.

NSP’s commitment to safety doesn’t stop when the snow melts. It shifts to a different trail.

Competition was only part of the story.

This season, we are thankful for our NSP ambassador-athletes who brought the red jacket to races, clinics, community events, and patrol work across the country.

Their impact went beyond results. Through service, education, and outreach, these patrollers helped show what NSP leadership looks like in today’s mountain culture.

This Memorial Day, we honor the service members who gave their lives for our country.

Across NSP, many members with military service bring specialized skills to their patrol work, including leadership under pressure, emergency response, risk assessment, teamwork, and decision-making in challenging environments. These skills strengthen patrol teams and support NSP’s mission in educating those dedicated to service in emergency care for outdoor environments.

We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and thank all who carry their legacy forward.

This National EMS Week, NSP recognizes the vital work of our Outdoor Emergency Care providers, EMTs, paramedics, and emergency medical professionals who deliver lifesaving care across the country.

These providers undertake rigorous training programs, which prepares them to assess injuries, provide emergency care, and respond effectively in challenging outdoor environments.

We extend a special thank you to the NSP patrollers who bring medical training, field experience, and calm decision-making to the mountain. Their work strengthens patrol teams and helps keep skiers, riders, and outdoor communities safe.

For EMS professionals, staying current with continuing education is essential—and we are proud to support that commitment through CAPCE-accredited courses.

CAPCE (Commission on Accreditation for Pre-Hospital Continuing Education) helps ensure EMS training meets consistent national standards, with credits accepted by most states for continuing education requirements. As acceptance can vary, patrollers should confirm details with their state EMS agency or the National Registry of EMTs.

NSP Members: Take the next step in managing your professional development.
