Getting ready for a shift

When you patrol at Mount McIntyre, please ensure that you

1. Get a day pass or make sure you have your seasons pass.
2. Make sure your phone number card is posted behind the desk at the ski base.
3. Put up your photo id card on the locker and update your anticipated itinerary.
4. Wear a uniform and first aid pack/fanny pack.
5. When you are there during the priority evening and weekend patrol hours please ask the staff to mark you off with an X on the date you are out so we can track our obligations to the Whitehorse Cross Country Ski Club (WCCSC). Please do not ask the staff to mark you in for times other than the priority hours - There are some AM/PM notes on the monthly logs and it makes the patrol leader's job difficult to interpret and create the stats record.
