- Inform on all different categories of ski patrollers (downhill, nordic, dog handlers, nurses, trainers, etc...)

Please help us to finance the edition of the magazine in order to reach all ski patrollers and have a direct impact on both national and international levels.

Who are we ?

A volunteer team very well motivated...

Sandrine : I was doing something completely different in microelectronics, and then in 2000, I quit everything to become a ski patroller....Since, I have been living in Monêtier les Bains, Hautes-Alpes, and working as a ski patroller in Montgenèvre.. I Ski patrolled in New Zeland for 3 years, I have a special interest to develop relations with the ski patrols everywhere in the world and in France. We would like to work with all the local organisations on projects to the common interest of ski patrollers. Create the magazine Pisteur Mag is one of them !.

Louise : Originaire de Briançon dans les Hautes Alpes, J'ai vécu une dizaine d’années dans les Rocheuses Canadiennes. Sept saisons d’hiver à Sunshine Village, dans la province de l’Alberta, m' ont permis de découvrir le métier de pisteur. C’est là bas que j'ai été formée et que j'ai passé différents modules de la CAA (Canadian Avalanche Association). De retour en France, je suis actuellement étudiante infirmière en deuxième année à l’IFSI de Briançon. Ma passion pour le grand nord canadien et le métier de pisteur m'a déterminée à permettre à d’autres pisteurs de mettre en place des échanges avec l’étranger grâce à notre association.

Colas: I have been working in Queyras (France) since I started in 2011 as ski patroller/groomer driver. I have the chance to enjoy an endless winter for 2 years between Queyras and Treble Cone in New Zealand. In the association, I am particularly interested in developing international ski patrol exchanges and centralizing ski gear pro deals.
