Mount Mansfield Ski Patrol is hitting its 90th anniversary this year! Founded way back in 1934, it's the oldest ski patrol organization in the U.S. It all started with some hardcore skiers from the Mount Mansfield Ski Club who realized they needed a crew to keep things safe as the slopes got more crowded. This was before Stowe was even a resort! In the early days, it was all volunteers using basic gear like toboggans and homemade splints. Over time, they invented better training and equipment. They were trailblazers, setting the standard for ski patrols everywhere. Now, the Mount Mansfield Ski Patrol is a mix of pros and volunteers, always ready for anything and keeping skiers safe on one of the raddest mountains on the East Coast. I’ve been skiing here for decades, so it was super fun to work together to create this new graphic. One morning, we met up at their patrol hut and snapped lots of pics of all their tools of the trade, including the legendary toboggan… had to put it on the base! THANK YOU to all the patrollers around the world keeping us safe on the slopes! Reminder: we offer a 30% OFF PRODEAL discount to everyone working in the ski industry on the mountains and at shops as our way of saying thanks for helping keep skiing rad! I only made 200 pairs of this new Limited Edition graphic on the patroller’s favorite ski, “The Masterblaster.” I hand-signed and numbered each pair. Remember, these only come around every 100 years, so grab your pair now—they’re going to sell out quick! Additionally, we’re donating $6,000 from the proceeds of this ski to the Mount Mansfield Ski Patrol to help continue keeping us safe out there! See more videos about Mount Mansfield Ski Patrol
