Patroller Refreshers

All ski patrollers at Spring Mountain who are already certified in OET must refresh their skills annually. Each patroller must demonstrate that they are still able to properly perform the required OET skills or work with an OET instructor to bring their skills back up to an acceptable level. Contact Bobby Miller, OET Committee Chair, for further details
