Upon successful completion of the above requirements, we will attempt to assign you to a ski area within the Ogopogo Zone. While every effort is made to accommodate the recruit’s wishes, area requirements and restrictions must be considered and met. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that you will be assigned to the area of your choice.
Your on-hill training will commence as soon as snow conditions allow. This training will include, but not be limited to area specific operating guidelines, toboggan handling, accident site management and on-hill first aid requirements.
Once you have completed the on-snow requirements successfully you will become a certified member of the CSP. You will then be entitled to wear the official jacket and insignia of the CSP. The jacket can only be worn while you are patrolling or at designated functions and must be accompanied with a certified first aid pack.
