Awards Definition

The definitions and requirements for awards are found in Chapter 10 of the Policy and Procedures Manual.  Please use the latest edition as there have been some changes since last year.  If you have read the Fall Edition of your Ski Patrol magazine, then you have an idea of the awards that are initiated at the patrol level.  These flow to Region and the selectee's are sent on to Division and from there to National.  
Here is a brief summary of  awards available to be submitted:
