Powderhorn National Ski Patrol Yearly Ski Swap
The National Ski Patrol, a Grand Valley nonprofit, holds its annual Ski Swap event at the Maverick Pavilion on the Colorado Mesa University campus on Friday and Saturday. This is the perfect opportunity for the community to support the Powderhorn National Ski Patrol. We are a non profit 501c3. You can also make donations as well.
The Ski Swap acts as a fundraiser to help purchase more medical supplies and medical training at Powderhorn.
In 2020, It featured six vendors such as Replay Sports and Snowmass Sports. Each vendor had its own venue to maximize customers while following the indoor capacity limit of 25%.
All of us here are medical people. Whether we’re outdoor emergency care certified, EMTs or paramedics, we know how the virus works and we know how PPE works. We wouldn’t have to go above and beyond if people were doing the right thing. And if people were doing the right thing, then we wouldn’t be in this situation.
In 2019, the Ski Swap raised $89,000 towards training and equipment for the PNSP programs and to build awareness for sking and riding safety at Powderhorn.
The National Ski Patrol (NSP) is a volunteer organization.
We depend on support from the surrounding communities, with donations, grants and personnel.
