In addition to our local on hill / trail duties we commonly provide volunteer first aid and rescue services to other charitable or athletic organisations here are just a few examples, there are MANY more:

• 5-Peaks Mountain Running Races

• MS Bike Tours
• Athletic competitions including; World Cup Races, Pan-American Games, Canada Games, Western Canada Games, Provincial Games, Aboriginal Games, Northern Games and the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympic Games.

We volunteer over 5000 hours annually in the Greater Vancouver area alone and invest over 15 million dollars nationally in time and dollars supporting the Canadian Snow sliding industry.

Many members of the Canadian Ski Patrol use this volunteer experience as a stepping-stone into the professional winter sliding industry and even the medical profession.

What is the Canadian Ski Patrol's Winter Extreme Ski & Board Swap?
The Canadian Ski Patrol raises funds to provide volunteer first aid and rescue services to the public. We do this through our annual dues, sponsorships, donations, local fundraising and regional ski shows and swaps. The Swap is an event to which vendors and public consign their equipment for sale. It is in turn sold to the public for a small commission. The Canadian Ski Patrol's Winter Extreme Ski & Board Swaps were started over 30 years ago primarily to raise funds but also to enable winter enthusiasts to annually upgrade their gear for themselves as they outgrow their current gear or an economical way for a family to get into this exciting and healthy sport. We're considered the Ski Swap experts and members of the Canadian Ski Patrol manage the world's largest ski swaps!

100% of swap proceeds support local volunteer first aid and rescue services.
By participating in the Canadian Ski Patrol's Winter Extreme Ski & Board Swap, you are financially supporting the people who are prepared to rescue you and your family when there is a need.
