2016 World Ski Patroller Survey Report

Description

This year we focus on the hot topics in Ski Patrol. For paid staff what are your conditions and will unionisation of your workplace assist you? With the growth in summer operations we are also looking to know how much transfer of winter staff skills is happening. In all we received 2193 responses from patrollers in 18 countries; 1605 Volunteers and 588 Paid (part and full time). The largest populations to respond were Australia/New Zealand, Canada, France, Sweden and the United States.

The report breaks down information by patroller type (Paid vs Volunteer), and Country.

Supported by: Fédération Internationale des Patrouilles de Ski, Canadian Ski Patrol, Australian Ski Patrol, National Ski Patrol, Svenska Skidanläggningars Organisation Skidpatrull, Federazione Italiana Sicurezza Piste Sci, Patrullas de Ski de Chile and the British Association of Ski Patrollers. Lucky door prizes provided by Surface Skis, Lé Bent, Patagonia.
