Our goal with SheJumps Wild Skills youth events is to see girls learning, having fun, and connecting in an encouraging environment with amazing instruction and support from female mentors. We want Junior Ski Patrol to be an experience they will remember, one that will spark a lifetime of passion for the outdoors and will remind them that they are capable of anything. Giving participants the opportunity to learn skills in a fun yet challenging setting develops perseverance and fosters confidence. 

What to expect

This program provides the opportunity to learn the skills utilized by patrollers, nurtures respect for mountain safety, and allows young girls to connect with the strong women of the mountain community.

Participants are divided into teams by skier/rider ability, then age. Each team consists of 8 girls and is led by a patroller who is aided by 2-3 adult volunteers. The team rotates through a variety of stations and group demonstrations throughout the day culminating in a Junior Ski Patrol certificate.

Costumes and tutus are encouraged.

First Aid

Participants learn what it takes to be a first responder on the mountain.  Skill covered include:

• How to report and respond to incidents

• Splinting and bandaging

• Stabilizing injured and transporting "injured" patients (participants take turns role-playing patients!)

• Toboggan handling skills

Avalanche Safety and Snow Science

Female patrollers demonstrate and share what it takes to open resorts. Stations include:

• Weather

• Avalanche safety, including using a beacon, shovel, and probe to find buried treasure

• Avalanche dog rescue demonstration

• Snow science
