Canadian Ski Patrol

Since the 1940s, the Canadian Ski Patrol has continued to fill a critical need for first responders on the ski slopes. Today, the CSP delivers a cross-section of national programs which provide vital skills, certified education and training in outdoor emergency care. Many lives are saved each year thanks to the competence of CSP patrollers.
We promote safety and injury prevention and provide the highest possible standards of education, certification and delivery in first aid and rescue services to the snow industry.

If you’re not familiar with them, the Canadian Ski Patrol team are the folks who take care of our safety concerns here at Ski Ben Eoin. They monitor the runs to make sure that visitors are adhering to the Alpine Responsibility Code, they point out and address any possible safety concerns, erect snow fencing, and so much more! Our  Ski Patrol volunteers are invaluable members to our team and they are always happy to assist. Be sure to say hello to our red jackets when you see them on the mountain!
