Know the Code-It's Your Responsibility!
WHITETAIL SAFETY DEPARTMENT
There are four groups that make up the Safety Department: the Ski Patrol, the Mountain Safety Team, the Park and Pipe Crew and the First Aid Clinic staff. These groups work together with a very similar focus, to make each guest experience at Whitetail the best it can be, to prevent accidents and care for those guests who may become injured or ill. Though each part of the department may be more directly involved with one aspect than another, each group is an important part of the Safety Department, as well as the Whitetail Team.
The majority of the Safety Department staff members are volunteers who have made a commitment to spend a portion of their time at Whitetail assisting in the operation of the resort. Volunteers are rewarded for this commitment through the satisfaction of being able to help others, the sense of camaraderie felt in being part of the Whitetail Team, and various perks and benefits available to volunteer staff. There are a limited number of paid positions as Ski Patrollers, Park and Pipe Crew and First Aid Clinic staff.
