Fort McMurray Zone Ski Patrol

The Fort McMurray ski patrol is a group of trained patrollers who volunteer their services at Vista Ridge ski hill in Fort McMurray.
We provide volunteer first aid services on Thursday and Friday evenings (approx. 6pm to 8pm), and Saturday and Sunday (9:30am to 4pm).

The Fort McMurray ski patrol group began in 1982.  The Fort McMurray Zone is one of 11 zones within Mountian Division, of which there are 9 Divisions across Canada, all part of the National organization called the Canadian Ski Patrol System (CSPS).
