Congratulations to our first class of Bike Patrollers! New skills and certifications. They are prepared to help sister patrols who have active bike patrols and ready if there is a need to stand up a bike patrol locally.
Thank you Ryan and Perrin for making the drive from Minneapolis to help us learn and grow.

Congratulations Seven Oaks Patrollers and Seven Oaks Recreation - Boone IA!

Today, members of the Seven Oaks Ski Patrol were honored at the 43rd Annual Governor's Volunteer Awards for their outstanding commitment to serving our guests and community.

Each year, our volunteer patrollers contribute more than 3,000 hours of service on the slopes during the winter season and at our Gladiator Assault Challenge Mud Run. Whether they're providing first aid, responding to emergencies, promoting guest safety, or supporting special events, their dedication makes a tremendous impact on everyone who visits Seven Oaks.

Please join us in congratulating the Seven Oaks Ski Patrol on this incredible honor and thanking them for the thousands of volunteer hours they give each year to keep our guests and community safe.

❤️ Thank you for your service, commitment, and passion for helping others. We couldn't do it without you!

Halfway through summer, and we’re already thinking about snow.

While we wait for winter, patrollers across the country are preparing for the season ahead through NSP's education programs, which help build the skills they rely on in the field.

So what does that mean when the snow returns? It means stronger rescue readiness, sharper emergency care, and better decision-making.

The turns will be back soon. Patrollers are already getting ready.

Helmets are trending.

The market size for snow sports helmets is expected to increase by over $100 million between 2025 and 2034.

Thank you to our 100% volunteer Seven Oaks patrol who volunteer thousands of hours every year!

This National Volunteer Week, we recognize the patrollers who give their time and expertise to serve others.

Across the country, NSP volunteers demonstrate an ongoing commitment to education—continually strengthening their skills in emergency care, mountain operations, and rescue response. That dedication to learning is what makes trusted, expert care on the mountain possible.

Your commitment to training and service supports safer outdoor experiences for every community we serve.

Thank you patrollers!

As the season closes, we want to celebrate the patrollers who served with dedication and pride.

Patrollers across the country showed a strong commitment to safety, service, and leadership—both on the mountain and through our ongoing education programs. Your work makes a difference in every community you serve.

We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing that impact together next season.
