Whistler/Blackcomb is a large world-class resort that attracts hundreds of thousands of skiers and snowboarders annually for it's steep terrain and excellent on-mountain facilities. Ski patrol operations exist on both mountains and respond to over 10000 injuries per year (1). As both skiing and snowboarding activities gain popularity, the number of people injured also rises (2) as does the demand on ski patrol and attending on-mountain physicians to provide adequate on-mountain treatment.
