A Ski Patrol is an organization that provides Emergency Medical and rescue services to participants of on-snow sports such as cross-country skiing, skiing, snowboarding, etc., either at a ski area or in a backcountry setting. Ski patrollers provide emergency medical care with many certified through the National Ski Patrol's Outdoor Emergency Care(OEC) program. The OEC program includes all of the content found in the emergency medical service (EMS) provider level of Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) in the United States. Many patrollers, however, may also hold credentials issued by states including Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or Paramedic. Due to the remote location and terrain, transportation is often limited to helicopter, snowcat, snowmobile, and toboggan. Patrollers are often well versed in avalanche search and rescue and other specialized techniques (e.g., chairlift evacuation, helicopter rappelling). Patrols work to promote ski safety, enforce area policies (where applicable), and help injured skiers when necessary. Ski patrollers also work to set up the mountain before it opens by conducting trail checks, providing avalanche control work, and setting up necessary equipment in preparation for the day. At the end of the day they also conduct a sweep clearing the mountain for off-hours. Currently, the organization is made up of more than 28,000 members serving over 650 patrols.

There are some ski school instructors who ally with an evil land developer to try to sabotage the ski patrol and convince the forest service to cancel the owner's lease on the ski area. At the end, though, the leader of the forest service wises up to the evil ski school's scheme and everything backfires.
Here comes the ski patrol It comes but once a year On down the mountain side And they'll make sure that we're all right Make sure that we're all right Sure that we're all right Sure that we're all right, all right All right, all right, all right When the heavy snow fall comes It spins on down the hills And still the sun shines bright On down and down the hill On down and down and down and down... Down and down and down Down, down and down and down Where the tattered hills lie down Ooh, the snow is on the ground And it drifts on everyone Makes everybody so glad Makes everybody so glad And the candidates who ran With a long black rabble band Playing now from town to town Where the ski patrols are found Well, that old patrol moves on And along the mountain trails Where the trails are watching out For those ones who need a helping hand Oh, make sure we're all right
