End Of Watch – Conrad A. Favor

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of fellow patroller Conrad Favor at the age of 90. Conrad was a ski patroller at Standing Rocls and Rib Mountain (Granite Peak) since 1962. He was a senior-level ski and toboggan regional evaluator, a section chief, and a regional director. He received his National Ski Patrol appointment in 1970.

Nordic Patrols

Nordic Ski Patrolling includes a tremendous variety of activities. In the Midwest, much of our patrolling is to cover races: we either ski along the course, offering help as needed and evacuating injured racers, or we man aid stations and help as people come to us. We also patrol trail networks attached to destination resorts.

Bike Patrols

Many skiers enjoy biking during the warmer months, so it’s a natural fit to use those same first responder skills as part of Bike Patrols.
