The Smugglers’ Notch Ski Patrol has received the National Ski Patrol’s Outstanding Alpine Patrol award.
The award, given annually, covers a long list of honors, and the Smugglers’ patrol team far exceeded the criteria.
The National Outstanding Alpine Patrol Award recognizes excellence in performance, and leadership at the regional, divisional, and national levels.
Individual accomplishments by the Smugglers’ Patrol weighed heavy into the award.
In particular, the National Ski Patrol praised Smugglers’ for the vast majority of support for region events, despite being the third-smallest patrol in the region. Support comes in the form of instructors, trainers/evaluators and instructor trainers in both outdoor emergency care and outdoor emergency transport programs.
Smugglers’ patrol team also includes the regional director, treasurer, national historian, regional adviser, 14 emergency care and transport instructors and one avalanche instructor.
Smugglers’ is the only patrol with two of its team members in the National Ski Patrol Hall of Fame.
Now its 62nd year in operation, Smugglers’ offers year-round programs and activities for all ages.
