Join us for the 2023 Winter Ski Patrol Festival, formerly known as the Alpine Skill Development Workshop (ASDW). Hosted by the Central Division National Ski Patrol, this event promises to be a thrilling blend of camaraderie, skill enhancement, and winter fun.

This year, we’re excited to bring the festival to two fantastic locations:

• December 1-3, 2023 at the picturesque Wild Mountain in Minnesota
• December 8-10, 2023 at the stunning Highlands of Harbor Springs in Michigan

Whether you’re a seasoned patroller or new to the slopes, the Winter Ski Patrol Festival offers a unique opportunity to enhance your skills, network with fellow patrollers, and enjoy the exhilarating winter landscape.

During the festival, you’ll have the chance to participate in a variety of workshops and training sessions tailored to your skill level. From advanced first aid to avalanche rescue techniques, our expert-led sessions are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to handle any situation on the slopes.

But it’s not all work! The festival also includes plenty of opportunities for fun and relaxation. Enjoy the thrill of skiing on some of the best slopes in the region, share stories with fellow patrollers around a cozy bonfire, and celebrate the season with other patrollers.

We can’t wait to see you at the 2023 Winter Ski Patrol Festival. Mark your calendars, pack your gear, and get ready for an unforgettable experience on the slopes!
