Organization of a ski natrol as unit of the National Ski Patrol System is moving forward here Under professional guidance in anticipation of development of the Mt. Ashland Ski area. The Mt. Ashland Ski Patrol was formed Oct. 31 at a meet ing at the home of Richard Brunswig, chairman of the National Ski Patrol System in the Northwest Region, who moved to Medford from Eugene in August. Brunswig covers all the ski areas. from Mt, Hood south, in Oregon, in his ski patrol posi tion. His major skiing in recent years was done at Willamette Pass and Bachelor Butte. Com ing to Southern Oregon, he quickly became one of the en thusiastic supporters of develop ment of the Mt. Ashland Rec reation area. Last Sunday the recently tormeel nucleus of the Mt. Ash land Ski Patrol organized a car pool for an outing to Mt. Ash-1 lana. Members of the group hiked the trails which have been opened on the slopes of the mountain. Dan Bulkley, head track coach at Southern Oregon Col lege, led the hike, purpose of which was to acquaint prospec tive ski patrolmen with the area that will be open to skiers this winter. Bulkley reported that the area available this winter will be only one third of the region which wlil be ski territory once the chair lift is installed. When the facilities planned are com pleted, Bulkley pointed out, the Mt. Ashland Ski area will he comparable to any in the northwest. Ashland Ski Patrol Being Organized As Unit of National System The area designated by the U. S. Forest Service for the development includes 800 acres. The elevation varies from 5,500 to 7,333 feet on the northeast side of Mt, Ashland. Free of Boulders The ground is free of lava boulders. There are some large and many small open glades. Noted by the Sunday hikers was the necessity for markers to direct skiers back to the lodge and away from the un opened area, due to the pos sibility of skiers going into the area, becoming "hopelessly" lost. Ski patrolmen take their re sponsibilities seriously, it was emphasized to all the trainees. The task of rescuing an injured skier and rendering first aid is not one for the untrained. A ski patrolman must have com pleted American Red Cross first aid training, toboggan handl ing and ski proficiency tests, as well as additional hill training after becoming a member, whether he joins the patrol as a volunteer or is hired as a pro fessional. The learning process never ceases, Lynn Waters, public relations chairman of the National Ski Patrol, has pointed out in a review of the respon sibilities to be assumed by patrols. The officers of the National Ski Patrol System supervise the actions of Ski Patrols, instilling in them the standards of better performance. Good ski patrols are always on the alert to co operate with the ski area in correcting unsafe conditions on the slopes. Their primary re sponsibility is rescue and first aid but they do not confine their service to this area. Professionals and volunteers are both unusually necessary to a ski area. Few ski areas are able to operate without volun teers because of the number of patrolmen needed to cover the ski area adequately during peak periods. The purposes of the National Ski Patrol System (NSPS) are to serve the skiing public with out charge in the rescue and first aid treatment of injured skiers: to promote safety and courtesy in the sport of ski ing; to serve ski area manage ment as a trained and skillful rescue organization; and to as sist and cooperate with other groups who are dedicated to similar purposes.
