These are the ~estimated~ 2019 (NEED TO UPDATE!) costs associated with becoming a patroller at Trollhaugen Ski Area. These estimates are subject to change as new information becomes known to us.

(In addition, if you do not have a current CPR card, our cost is approximately $15. The National Ski Patrol requires an annual CPR refresher from every patroller.)

Upon completion of the On-the-Hill test, the candidate becomes an Alpine member of the National Ski Patrol. There is no additional fee associated with this.
