A majority of the members reside throughout northern California and have established careers within their respective communities. They are diverse in age, experience and professions, and are all drawn together by the love of patrolling.

With approximately 30 patrollers, the Volunteer Patrol is supervised by the Volunteer Patrol Director and Assistant Volunteer Patrol Director, who report directly to the Pro Director of the Ski Park. In addition, there are Patrol Advisers in charge of the various disciplines within the Volunteer Patrol. These disciplines include Candidate Training, Patrol Training, Legal, Outdoor Emergency Transportation, Instructor Development, Skiing, Snowboard, Outdoor Emergency Care, Awards, and Technology.   If you have any questions regarding the Volunteer Patrol, please contact:  Al Swan  al@shastaranches.com  or Tom Haistings  tomhaistings@sbcglobal.net .
