From the Vermont Historical Society library introduction to documents on the Mt. Mansfield Ski Patrol:

"One of the first organized ski patrols in the nation, the Mount Mansfield Ski
Patrol was organized in 1934 through the auspices of the Mount Mansfield Ski Club. The
Club formed a committee to establish a patrol to cover the mountains and hills
surrounding Stowe, Vermont. The driving force behind the formation of the patrol was
Roland Palmedo, president of the Amateur Ski Club of New York. In 1935 the patrol
instituted a rule that all members must pass the Red Cross first aid course. After a skiing
fatality in 1936, the committee felt it needed to strengthen the rescue system and chose a
ski patrol director, Al Gottlieb, to coordinate the effort. One of his innovations was
building a series of nearly 40 caches of toboggans and first aid supplies on the mountains.
In 1938 Stowe hosted the U. S. National Downhill and Slalom races where the Ski Patrol
demonstrated its professionalism. As a result, the Mount Mansfield Ski Patrol was used
as the model for the National Ski Patrol."
