Learn more about the BBSPOutdoor Emergency Care® is the NSP’s award-winning training program for patrollers and others in the recreation community who deal with emergency situations. This nationally recognized program is designed to help you manage the toughest emergencies, in all seasons. Developed in the late 1980s for the 26,000 members of the National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care is a training program that is tailored to the nonurban rescuer. Over the years, OEC has evolved to address the needs of other outdoor-based emergency care providers too, including wilderness medical technicians, river rafting and mountaineering guides, members of search and rescue groups, mountain bike patrollers, and parks and recreation employees. Today, OEC is considered the standard of training for emergency care in the outdoor environment and is recognized by resorts and recreational facilities in all 50 states.
Patient transport on the mountain is much faster and more comfortable, thanks to the addition of two new Skidoo Skandic snowmobiles donated to the Bogus Basin Ski Patrol by Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center and LifeFlight in 2006 and 2007. Dubbed "Alfy 1" and "Alfy 2", these green machines enable the Ski Patrol to reach and treat injured guests more efficiently.
