Kissing Bridge Ski Patrol Candidates Program

Kissing Bridge Training Dates -

Remember our patroller commitment...we are volunteers, but volunteers with responsibilites.

All patrollers must be refreshed annually in OEC, CPR/AED, skiing/riding skills, chair evacuation, and vehicle safety skills. National and the Department of Labor require this. This also helps us maintain our reputation as the most capable patrol in the area. Our trainers are always willing to help individuals that need personal attention in new techniques and methods.

Should you need to work out some of life's hurdles, please speak to either Diane Smith (Director) or Jeff Randall (APD) (716) 592-4963.
