The training started November 15 with almost 300 people in attendance, including Big Sky Fire Department, Summit Air Ambulance, Gallatin Gateway Fire Department, American Medical Response, Bozeman Health Group, and other local medical, EMS, and fire agencies. “Although the Big Sky Medical Refresher is focused on our ski patrollers, it is also a multi-agency effort that shares experience and builds relationships,” remarked Steve Emerson, of the Big Sky Resort Ski Patrol who said, “It’s so important for such a large organization to get our members together to bring everyone up to speed on our standard of care. “The medical refreshers we conduct are required training for our members, but also count as continuing education to go toward their license renewal.”

The practical skill stations have training on backboard mobilization, medical patient assessment, CPR, and more.
