All to true, Midwif.  But a lot of guys/ gals join patrol with good ems skills, and a great volunteer attitude, but often fairly primitive ski skills.  On our patrol (which prides itself as a very atypically strong skiing patrol), we not only strive to get everyone up to a base level of competency between the handles, but we try to help them learn the skills to make their free skiing a lot more fun ('cause, hey, that's the real reason to volunteer at a ski area!).
