As the leading authority of on-mountain safety, The National Ski Patrol (NSP) is dedicated to serving the public and outdoor recreation industry by providing education and accreditation to emergency care and safety service providers. NSP is made up of more than 32,000 members serving over 650 patrols, including alpine, nordic, and auxiliary patrollers. Our members work on behalf of local ski and snowboard areas to improve the overall experience for outdoor enthusiasts. National Ski Patrol (NSP) was established in 1938 and is a member-driven professional organization. We strive to provide best-in-class training and education programs for emergency rescuers serving the outdoor recreation community. NSP supports its members through accredited education and training in leadership, outdoor emergency care, safety programs and transportation services. The emergence of new snow sports like snowboarding, tubing, and snow-skating has introduced new equipment and terrain requiring new safety and rescue techniques and emergency care methods to be developed and taught. In addition, greater access to the backcountry has brought new training and regimens for NSP members as well.
