WESTERN APPALACHIAN REGION NORDIC

Nordic ski patrollers receive the same extensive medical training as our Alpine (downhill) ski patrol counterparts, plus specialized training related to delivering care in remote situations where assistance and support facilities are not immediately available. The Outdoor Emergency Care credential is similar to that of an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) in terms of skills and knowledge... The Nordic Ski Patrols of the Western Appalachian Region are delighted to have the opportunity to coordinate closely with the management of the state park and state forest lands on which we serve. Our patrols are grateful to the Laurel Hill State Park Complex (including Kooser State Park), the Forbes State Forest, and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation & Natural Resources (DCNR) for their continued and enthusiastic support... Would you like the opportunity to hone your skills and to develop new ones in order to make Nordic skiing safer and more enjoyable for everyone?
