Big White Donates to Canadian Ski Patrol

Since 1982, the Canadian Ski Patrol – Ogopogo Zone (CSPOZ) has been a vital part of the safety and culture at Big White Ski Resort.

What began with volunteers at Lost Mountain (now Crystal Mountain) has grown into a powerful, passionate team dedicated to keeping Big White safe and enjoyable for everyone.

As a volunteer-based organization, the CSP works hand-in-hand with Big White’s paid patrol staff, adding depth and support to the resort’s on-mountain safety services. With more than 60 hours of training every season, each patroller brings a wealth of knowledge and skill—much of it focused on first aid, rescue, and accident prevention.

In March, Big White Ski Resort stepped up to support the CSP with a $3,000 donation that will be used to upgrade first aid gear and begin refreshing uniforms for the team. These enhancements will allow volunteers to continue delivering exceptional care, fully equipped for all conditions the mountain throws their way.
