| Nordic Patrol, 2013 |
Mount Rainier National Park would like to thank the 37 members of the Washington
Ski Touring Club (WSTC) who served as the 2014/2015 Nordic Patrol for
the Paradise area volunteering 810.5 hours of their time. This year
marked the twentieth anniversary of WSTC volunteering as the Paradise
area Nordic Patrol.
As taken from one of the
original documents describing their duties: "Nordic Patrol will set and
maintain trail marker poles and signs, assess avalanche conditions,
discourage skiers from avalanche prone areas, put out wands, answer
questions, assist in initial searches for lost parties, aid in transport
of injured skiers and check overnight permits." Their role hasn't
change much in the past twenty years, but they are still having a huge
impact.
Anyone who has come across a member of the Nordic Patrol has
found a warm smile and an informative volunteer who is ready to help
them in a time of need.
