SWAP Day, or Ski With A Patroller Day, is a great opportunity for you  to experience why and how we do what we do.  You'll start off the day with our morning briefing at 7:30am, help us open the mountain, check the lines, put out safety signs and ski the first runs.  You'll meet our leadership and your fellow patrollers, go on patrol and  respond to emergency calls with them.  This way you get a real sense if a patroller's life is for you.
