Mission Statement!
The Canadian Ski Patrol System is a non profit corporation comprising
highly-trained volunteer and professional members. The System is national in
scope, and was formed to promote safe skiing and to provide assistance to
injured skiers. The CSPS provides, without charge, a uniformly highly-skilled
and responsible service to the skiing public.
To qualify as a member of the organization, an individual must play a role in
the development and growth of the organization by supporting the direction,
initiatives, and programs of the system, through participating in the delivery
of these programs and services. A member of the CSPS may choose to
 attain a level of training certification. A patroller must
pass a rigid set of examinations on all aspects of patrolling, including ski
safety, first aid, procedures and programs, and must participate in the
activities of the System.
To fully train and provide each patroller with the necessary equipment requires
substantial financial investment. The only equipment provided by the System is
that which is necessary for the patroller to render assistance to the public.
All other items such as skis, clothing, etc., is the
responsibility of the individual patroller.
The funds required each year for the education of patrollers and the operation
of the System are obtained by soliciting assistance from industry, governments,
the public, ski areas, fund raising programs, and the membership itself.
