Who Are We?

NSP LogoThe Northwest Region is located in the Pacific Northwest Division of the National Ski Patrol (NSP).  The region contains 9 different patrols throughout western Washington.

The National Ski Patrol, founded in 1938, has followed its creed of "Service and Safety" since the establishment of skiing as a popular sport in the United States. As snowsports and guest services at areas have evolved over the years, so has the NSP, from a service organization to a modern-day professional education association.

Today the organization is composed of more than 26,000 members serving over 600 patrols. These individuals include alpine, snowboard, telemark, and nordic patrollers who are paid or who volunteer their time throughout the United States and at certain military areas in Europe.
