In Memory of Dick Seward |
 |
|
It is with deep regret that I have to inform you that one of our
fellow patrollers, Dick Seward, has unexpectedly past away.
We will miss you, Dick! |
Ski patrols come from different backgrounds. What do full time staff
do in the summer? Where are the volunteers midweek? What skills and achievements
do our patrollers bring to June Mountain?
June Patrollers, here is your place to let yourself shine. It is completely
optional to participate. Submit your photos and profiles to
(or bring your photo to a Patrol Meeting or Patrol Day) or FILL
OUT THE ONLINE FORM BELOW.

Other Info: I have been a NSP Patroller since 1974 when
I first joined back East in New York. I patrolled on a couple of
hills where I was also active in Racing. I began as a Paid Patroller
At Gore Mt. working for the Olympic Authority. After a few years
there I moved to Utah where I was hired at Solitude Ski Area and
got experience in Avalanche control and rescue. Some how I ended
up in Southern California where I have continued my passion as a
Ski Patroller. It is filled with many many hours of hard work, fun
and most of all great times and memories with my best friends and
family.
