Thank you Ski Patrol 

Doug and Huxley, Sean and Ridge, Carl and Watson

Thank you to our Ski Patrollers and Ski Patrol dogs for your brave and tireless work to keep us safely skiing and riding our favorite terrain. We are truly grateful.

If you’d like to support these heroic canines, new Patrol dog stuffed animals are available for sale at Estelle Sports at Alpine Meadows and Squaw One Logo Company at Squaw Valley. All proceeds benefit our Ski Patrol Dogs.

And stay tuned for updates on Squaw Valley’s Patrol dogs in training!
