Canadian Ski Patrol Day – Saturday, March 2, 2024
The Canadian Ski Patrol (CSP) is a volunteer driven organization. They are looking for snowboarders, alpine skiers and cross-country skiers interested in joining their patrols. To give potential members a look at what the Ski Patrol does, they are holding Ski With the Patrol Days at all the ski areas served by the Canadian Ski Patrol on Saturday, March 2, 2024. This includes cross-country ski patrolling at White Butte Nordic Ski Trails.
The Event
At Ski With the Patrol Day, they will pull back the curtain to show what goes on during a typical patroller’s day. They will show some of their equipment, provide a glimpse at some of their procedures, outline the training requirements, and explain how to become a member of this national organization.

- Asessippi Ski Area & Resort – Inglis, MB
