Become a Mountain Patroller
A key role, often overlooked
When we think about working at a ski resort, we picture perfectly groomed trails, sunny days, and the simple joy of skiing or riding. But behind it all, there are dedicated men and women quietly watching over the mountain. Being a patroller isn’t just about loving the outdoors. It means taking on real responsibility. It’s about being ready to step in, make decisions, and reassure others, sometimes in far-from-ideal conditions.
A niche role, and we’re proud of it
Being a ski patroller isn’t for everyone. It takes commitment, skill, and heart. This role requires:
- Intermediate to advanced skiing or snowboarding skills
- Over 60 hours of training — which means weekend availability throughout the fall
- Strong knowledge of the mountain
- Calmness under pressure and good judgment
- Solid physical fitness
- A genuine interest in safety, emergency response, and helping others
At Bromont, we know this role attracts dedicated, passionate people who are looking for more than just a seasonal job. It’s for those who want to be useful, present, and truly make a difference on the mountain.
What does a patroller’s day actually look like?
On a daily basis, our ski patrollers:
- Ensure safety across the slopes
- Respond to incidents and accidents
- Take part in opening and closing the trails
- Work closely with other mountain teams
No two days are the same. Some are calm, others more intense. But every day requires focus, teamwork, and the ability to adapt quickly.
Why become a ski patroller at the mountain?
Here’s what our team values most:

- Supportive, approachable leadership
- Clear, safety-first procedures

Here, patrol isn’t a secondary service, it’s a core part of the mountain experience.
