Devil’s Glen Ski Patrol
Who are we?
As part of the national Canadian Ski Patrol System (CSPS), the Devil’s Glen Patrol is a dedicated and effective team of people with the goal of promoting safety and first aid assistance to the skiing and snowboarding public. We are easily recognizable in our yellow and blue jackets with the distinctive cross in a maple leaf crest on our backs. Our patrol works alongside staff at the Glen every day to safely open and close the hills, response to injuries, as well as providing first aid support at races and special events.
