SheJumps Junior Ski Patrol WILD SKILLS

Join us for SheJumps Junior Ski Patrol, a one-day camp at Hoodoo Ski Resort on March 16th!

Join us for SheJumps Wild Skills Junior Ski Patrol, a day camp at Hoodoo Ski Resort on March 16, 2024! Girls will learn mountain safety and first aid while working with the strong women of Hoodoo Ski Ski Patrol. This event is intended for intermediate to expert skiers/snowboarders ages 8-15. We welcome all girls- transgender and cisgender, as well as non-binary youth to participate in this event.

This SheJumps Wild Skills event is structured as a full-day camp experience. Parents/legal guardians drop off participants for the day, who are then split into teams based on their skier ability. Throughout the day, participants are taught a range of outdoor skills that are utilized by ski patrollers to keep the mountain safe. We will work alongside patrollers and volunteers to learn more about the many facets of mountain safety and first aid.

Schedule for the Day On the day of the event, you’ll check in at registration which will be open from 9:00 – 9:30 am PST at the Fireplace Room in the North Lodge . At registration you will meet up with your team for the day. The teams will consist of 1 ski patroller, 2-3 SheJumps volunteers, and 8 participants of similar ski ability.
At 9:30 am , we will start the day with an all teams morning meeting covering ski patrol basics, weather, and our agenda for the day.

From there, teams will break out and proceed to their various stations throughout the mountain. Stations cover topics including first aid, mountain safety, toboggan use, snowmobile safety, gear caches, weather, and avalanche basics & prevention. Along the way, there will be free skiing, surprises, and games, of course!
Lunch is *NOT* included in the ticket price, but all teams will eat together in a reserved area. The afternoon will wrap up with the remainder of station visits and completion certificates handed out at 3:30 pm .
