DVSP was originally the Belle Mountain Ski Patrol. Click here for more information on the history of where this patrol originated.
DVSP gratefully thanks Wolfgang and the Alpine Mountain Ski Patrol for the fantastic 2009-2010 hospitality on the mountain and at the end of season meeting/luncheon held at the Inn of the Hawk. DVSP patrollers contributed a significant number of hours patrolling at Alpine Mountain and were rewarded by outstanding training/testing opportunities and with great camaraderie on the hill.
