Ski patrol literally saves lives. You see clips of angry ski patrollers taking passes or losing their cool, but the reality is that ski patrol members are usually the most hardworking, coolest people on the mountain.
Most hardcore skiers or snowboarders have several positive experience stories with ski patrol. Helly Hansen interviewed several professional skiers, including Marcus Caston and Martine van der Hoorn, on their sometimes live-saving experiences with ski patrollers.
Helly Hansen released this video ahead of International Ski Patrol Day, celebrated this year on February 10. There are many ways you can show appreciation for ski patrol, including directly thanking them. The important thing is that you show appreciation for these hardworking life savers!
