The National Ski Patrol’s Young Adult Patrol (YAP) Program is an educational program that trains young adults, ages 15 through 17, in emergency response care. Through mentorship and coaching, the YAP program serves as a foundation for young adults to master the essential skills of critical thinking, collaboration, synergistic teamwork, and leadership in a high caliber team environment. The Young Adult Patrol Program provides a foundation for future lifelong patrollers, and leaders of the NSP as well as in our Communities.

The Adult programs must be conducted in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, school district policies and procedures, and the ski area’s rules and regulations.
