You know, the guy that if someone on the mountain gets hurt... they ski patrol bring him to the base of the mountain and see the doctor. Is that dude an ER guy? How much do you think they make and what type of hours?
Doczilla said:Most of the time these folks are EMT or paramedic trained. There are EM physicians that do it, and at least one residency where I interviewed said that their residents moonlight as ski patrol docs. Don't know about pay and hours.

Desperado said:I was offered a position on a volunteer ski patrol while skiing two weeks ago 40 miles North of the Mexican border. Arizona's an odd place. The actual ski doc jobs are a bit harder to come by but I knew a few docs who did it part time while I was in school in Utah. Most are EM trained. The big resorts will pay you in addition to the free lift tickets.
