SheJumps | WILD SKILLS Junior Ski Patrol | Steamboat Springs, CO

Join us for SheJumps Wild Skills Junior Ski Patrol, a day camp at Steamboat Resort on April 12, 2025. Girls will learn mountain safety and first aid while working with the strong women of the Steamboat Resort Ski Patrol.

This event is intended for intermediate to expert skiers/snowboarders ages 8-13. We welcome all girls- transgender and cisgender, as well as non-binary youth to participate in this event.

This event is structured as a full-day camp experience. Parents/legal guardians drop off participants for the day, who are then split into teams based on their skier ability. Throughout the day, participants are taught a range of outdoor skills that are utilized by ski patrollers to keep the mountain safe. We will work alongside patrollers and volunteers to learn more about the many facets of mountain safety and first aid.

Cost: this event costs $40 and does not include the cost of a lift ticket. Participants are responsible for supplying their own lift ticket or season pass for the day. Scholarships are available and cover the cost of registration and a lift ticket. Please reach out if you need a scholarship.

On the day of the event, you’ll check in at registration which will be open from 8:00 to 8:30 at the base of the resort, outside the front of The Range Restaurant. At registration you will meet up with your team for the day. The teams will consist of 1 ski patroller, 2-3 SheJumps volunteers, and 6-8 participants of similar ski ability.

At 8:30am we will start the day with an all teams morning meeting covering ski patrol basics, weather, and our agenda for the day.

From there teams will break out and proceed to their various stations throughout the mountain. Stations cover topics including first aid, mountain safety, toboggan use, weather and avalanche basics & prevention. Along the way there is free skiing, surprises and games!

LUNCH: Lunch will be around 12:00 at Thunderhead Lodge. Pizza and hot chocolate will be provided. If your child has allergies, consider sending a packed lunch with them for the day.

The afternoon will consist of learning skills from the ski patrollers and rotating stations. We will wrap up with completion certificates handed out at 3:00 pm.
