The Mountain Travel and Rescue (MTR) Program is designed to equip ski patrollers, search and rescue responders, and outdoor enthusiasts with the critical skills necessary for safe travel, group management, and participation in search-and-rescue operations in mountainous, backcountry, and off-piste settings. This program is a cornerstone of the National Ski Patrol’s (NSP) mission to provide comprehensive education and training that enhances safety during outdoor activities, particularly in challenging environments.
