- Hello Iko,
Yes, we hire EMT-B's. Right now we have a 3 different cert levels - Wilderness First Responder, Outdoor Emergency Care, and EMT-B. As manager, it's my goal to get the whole patrol on the same cert level for ease of training and a true standard of care. I want that level to be EMT-B and am working on making that happen in the next year or two.
As for hiring this upcoming season, I won't know what my needs will be until I return the mountain in October. If you are interested, therer will be a web-based application for employment at stevenspass.com in September. That's the best way to get your name in the hat.
Feel free to contact me if you have other questions.
Cheers, Chris
