Ski Patrol
Ski Patrol is a volunteer organization that provides 4 season safety and rescue services across Canada.
At Ski Ben Eoin, Ski Patrol are the first ones on the lift in the morning, and the last ones to ride it at night. Our team is responsible for things like flagging and fencing areas that may pose a safety risk to riders, ensuring that all users on the property are following the Alpine Responsibility Code, using the rescue toboggan to transport riders down the hill when they’ve had a fall, and much, much more!
We’re always looking for hard working, dedicated people who want to join a great team! Not only do you get to be part of what makes the ski hill operate smoothly, but there are some other great perks of becoming a ski patrol member too:
– Ski for FREE at participating hills in Canada
– Get pro deals on many popular brands
– Receive advanced first aid and rescue training that is Federally and Provincially certified.
If this sounds like something that you might be interested in, contact our Mountain Operations Manager hilloperation@skibeneoin.com to see about coming out to shadow with a current ski patrol member to see what it’s all about. The best time to join a training session is September – November, but it doesn’t hurt to be thinking about the future now! And successful candidates may even be able to turn a volunteer opportunity into a part or full-time paid position here at Ski Ben Eoin. What a great experience!
If you’re already certified and ready to get involved now, please contact Ski Ben Eoin’s Ski Patrol leader sandy.michalik@skipatrol.ca to enquire about possible opportunities for the current season!

Enjoy our beautiful ski slopes in Ben Eoin, NS
In 1968, a group of enthusiastic, thrill-seeking skiers took their energy and love for the sport from Coxheath to the beautiful hills of Ben Eoin. Their mission was to develop a ski facility for local residents as well as the visiting public.
Through the group’s dedication and tenacity along with funding assistance received from the Cape Breton Development Corporation, community support groups and private donations, their dream became a reality with the official opening of Ski Ben Eoin. Membership dollars were adopted as a vital element in maintaining a ski operation.
