ROBERT WRIGHT – PATROL DIRECTOR Bob Wright has been with the Pats Peak Ski Patrol since 1982 when he joined as a volunteer. Bob worked weekends and holidays for many years, and introduced his two children to the sport of skiing and the excitement of patrolling. Both his children followed in his footsteps to become Patrollers as well. In 1999, Bob became the Pats Peak Ski Patrol Director. He teaches OEC courses, as well as CPR to the Patrol and to his hometown of Washington, where he is the Captain of the local Rescue Squad.

JENN READ – ASSISTANT PATROL DIRECTOR Jenn began her career as a Patroller at a very early age. She was only 14 years old when she started to tag along with her older brother and her father who were both Patrollers. In 1988 Jenn became a Student Ski Patroller. She has now been working as a full-time Patroller for more than 10 years. She has been an OEC & CPR instructor for many years and helps participate in Ski Patrol trainings. Jenn is an EMT-I with her local Rescue Squad, and she is currently pursuing a degree in the field of nursing at New Hampshire Technical Institute.

BOB BOUCHER – WEEKEND ASSISTANT PATROL DIRECTOR Bob Boucher has been a member of the Pats Peak Ski Patrol since 1983. He took on the position of Weekend Assistant Patrol Director in 2004. Bob supervises a large number of weekend volunteer Patrollers, as well as working with Mountain Operation Personnel to organize and facilitate safety for all weekend activities. He is an essential part of our annual refresher program and helps to recruit new members.

KARYN COTE – FIRST AID ROOM SUPERVISOR Karyn became a Pats Peak Ski Patroller in the season of 2000/2001. She has spent many winters enjoying the slopes, maintaining fences and ropes on trails, and working with injured patients. In 2006 Karyn became Pats Peak's full-time First Aid Room attendant. She keeps our First Aid Room well organized and takes great care of all of our customers. During the off-season, Karyn is the look-out watchman at the Pitcher Mountain Fire Tower. She is also an EMT-B with the Meadowood County Area Fire Department.

He has been involved in numerous trainings of new and seasoned Patrollers. This year he inspired the Patroller’s Edge, a weekly newsletter for the Patrollers. This has been a beneficial tool and a great resource for all of our staff. Eli will unfortunately be leaving us as he is pursuing an experience with the Peace Corps. He will spend more than 2 years in Africa, and will be greatly missed. He is an outdoor enthusiast, as well as a certified Wilderness EMT-B.

CHRIS ROUSSEAU – STUDENT PATROL ADVISOR Chris joined the Patrol in 1988 as a Student Patroller. He worked under the supervision of Bob Wright, who was the Student Advisor at that time.

He has worked hard to train numerous Student Patrollers, and accompanies them to Region and Division seminars. Chris is also an OEC & CPR instructor, and is an EMT-I with his local Rescue Squad. This is all part-time volunteer work for Chris, as he has a full-time position with the State of NH as the EMS Training Coordinator.

2007-2008 PATS PEAK SKI PATROL TEAM
This season we began with over 70 Patrollers. This is a combination of full-time, part-time, volunteers and students. We are very fortunate to have such a large group and feel that we have a great deal of friendship and respect for one another. As always in life, new opportunities arise, which take our members to different jobs, towns or lifestyles. Therefore, we are always looking for new recruits to join our team.
