As the ski season begins in Alberta, safety and training are top of mind for local organizations and ski hills.
The Canadian Ski Patrol Calgary zone is training a new group of patrollers that will respond when things go downhill on the slopes.
On Saturday, the rookies went through various skill stations to practice stabilizing someone and putting them on a backboard, administering oxygen and how to help someone who is trapped in or under something, like a tree. Patrollers are also taught how to respond to other emergencies beyond the ski hills, such as car crashes.
