    National Ski Patrol

    Last winter I took their Outdoor Emergency Care Program and would recommend it to anyone that has the opportunity to take this training and/or volunteer for the NSP.

    They describe it as 80% of EMT training and of course patient packaging to get them safely down the hill; from now on large triangle slings will be a part of my kit bag.

    How the NSP was involved in creating and recruiting for the 10th Mountain Division.

    That's very interesting about the 10th Mountain Division and the NSP, I never knew that. Thanks for posting the link.

    Have you tried any of the Wilderness EMT programs?

    No, here in Italy it's only On The Hill and Avalanche training.

    No problem, and the training is very inexpensive.

    In addition to OEC, when you patrol you get a ton of hands on training. The ability to deal with minor to major traumatic injuries on a hill/mountain covered with snow working out of a vest or butt pack is great training.
