I am an OEC Instructor, OEC IT, ID, ID IT and CPR instructor. I secondary patrol on the Hiawatha Bike Patrol. I have been the Region OEC Advisor in the Inland Region and last fall have become the Division OEC Supervisor. I have gone to all of the Regions in the PNWD for OECMSP this spring. It has been great to go to the different regions, meet people and see how their Senior program is run and how their candidates are prepared. I am seeing a lot of great things and also some areas of improvement. I have enjoyed being part of the patrol as I have met some wonderful people along the way. I enjoy training candidates for OEC and OEC MSP. In my regular job, I am a Team Leader in a very busy Radiology Business in Spokane WA. I have been a Radiologic technologist for over 40 years. It has been a great career for me as there is technology along with patient care. When I started in my career, CT and MRI were just getting started. Also, when I started my career, x-ray images were run through a processor and now it is all digital. So I have seen a lot of advancement and changes in the Radiology field, but also very interesting and fun. I have also worked in Interventional Radiology and Cardiology. Again, two great career builders and a lot of learning experience for me. When I have spare time I enjoy, hiking, biking, quilting, reading, fishing, trap shooting, playing with my dog Sadie and of course hanging out with my husband Dan. . mariannebecker77@gmail.com |

Pam CarsonPNWD Co-Awards Advisor
Bogus Basin Ski Patrol For many years in early spring, I would always see a ski patrol recruiting booth at my local hill and say to myself I could do that, but I never did. One day though, at a time when most of my family were giving up skiing, and with a not so gentle push from my husband, I summoned the courage to go talk to them, thinking if I was lucky enough to get picked, I would do it for a couple of years, maybe. 16 years later I’m still very much patrolling at Bogus Basin in Boise as a volunteer ski patroller. I’m an OEC, CPR and ID instructor and have dabbled with but not finished OET instructor training. I have served my patrol as Assistant Patrol leader, secretary, assistant historian, and now as member at large. I’ve been the Awards chair for the past four years, Senior coordinator for Southern Idaho Region since 2019, and I was the co-chair of the PNWD convention held in Boise in 2021. I’m a part of the PNWD Women’s team, representing SIR and in February of this year, I signed on to be Awards Co-Chair for the PNWD alongside Sue Baker. I have been a Registered Nurse for more years than I want to admit, retiring from school nursing just before COVID-19 hit. Whew! I live in Boise with my husband and our two small rescue dogs, Stella and Odi. I have three grown children, and three very tall grandsons! I’m a frequent gym goer, mostly taking functional fitness and yoga classes. I like to read when I can find some spare time, hike, bike and camp. I am thrilled to be here and look forward to meeting and working with all of you! |
Tanja CarterPNWD SPY Advisor
Crystal Mountain Ski Patrol Tanja began her ski career as a teen stocking boots at summer sales for Ski Chalet in Chantilly VA. She immediately fell in love with the industry. After a failed attempt at earning her masters and becoming a "real" business woman, Tanja took off to Seattle and somehow ended up managing a ski shop for a famous ski movie maker (yup, that guy). She subsequently was recruited by K2 skis, more for her trilingual skills than her ski skills… and spent her 20's traveling around Europe managing accounts for 3 brands (K2, Olin, Pre). This subsequently led to many years living in the Alps and managing international accounts for Tecnica/Lowa and other positions with Gore-Tex, Skins Compression Gear etc.. After retiring from almost 30 years in the industry, Tanja had the "brilliant" idea of investing a few weeks annually as a ski patroller…after all "how hard could it be?" Almost 4 years later, at Crystal Mountain, WA, she was awarded Rookie of the Year, is helping instruct OEC, is developing the Crystal Mountain SPY program and was recently appointed the Divisional SPY advisor. Her extensive coaching background (National's feeder programs as well as youth and adults) has been instrumental in developing a fresh new perspective on the SPY program which promises to change the way we "SPY!" |
Shirley CummingsPNWD Historian & Special Projects
Hyak Ski Patrol National #4852. 57th year patrolling. Joined home patrol Hyak (P008-020) in 1966. Have worked on several national NSP committees, was PNWD Secretary 35 years, Northwest Region Secretary 3 years, Patrol Secretary 1 year. I have been an assistant patrol director for a long time. During those years, I also served in the position of Division Convention Coordinator, Special Projects, and more recently, Historian. I graduated from the University of Washington and have been involved in UW homecoming and reunion committees. For 33 years I was a firefighter/EMT (#4415) with Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (#130015). I began skiing in 1957 and that same year also began my first winter ski job as cashier in the Thunderbird Lodge at the top of Snoqualmie Summit. Often after my work shift, the ski patrol would bring me down the mountain in a toboggan. That began my introduction to ski patrol. Two years later I had a serious accident and was the recipient of more ski patrol services. My big exposure to ski patrol, however, came in 1964 when my husband managed the ski shop for REI at Hyak while we were in college; we skied with the Hyak Patrol, they invited us to their potlucks and to sleep in their building. We were hooked, took the short ARC first aid classes, took the ski test and soon became patrollers. My greatest life interests have been my husband, Gary #4585 (58th year patrolling), my children Kevin and Katie and my grandsons--Connor, Sam, Jack and Sean. We enjoy boating, traveling (grandson #1 lives in Scotland), and we spend a lot of time as seasoned spectators at the many sporting events for all our grandsons as well as cheering at UW football and basketball games. In the future, it looks like my ski patrol and grandson-spectating careers will both probably start to wind down and cease at the same time. I guess I will be doing a lot of knitting. |

Fred NowlandMountain Host
49 Degrees North Ski Patrol Fred Nowland began working in the local ski industry in the late 80’s, gaining a job at Sunset Sports Center, which later became Herman’s Sporting Goods. In 1989 one of Nowland’s buddies got him a job as a rental dog, which later turned into ski tuning a year later. By 1990, Nowland was the head ski tuner at the legendary Lou-Lou’s Ski Chalet, a position he held until the shop closed permanently in 2002. During the summer months, Nowland ran the Rossignol Test Center at Mt. Hood, working with athletes from the US Ski Team and other national teams that trained on the Palmer Glacier. After Lou-Lou’s closed in 2002, he took his skills to the Spokane Alpine Haus for 20 years and then on to Shred Sports where he currently works. Over a 35-year span, Nowland figures he has touched somewhere around 180,000 pairs of skis. When not in the shop, Nowland spends his weekends at 49 Degrees North, where he serves as a mountain host, directing guests and assisting ski patrol when needed. |
Kelli Piper - Convention Committee49 Degrees North Ski Patrol I began skiing when I was four years old, sharing a pair of ski boots and snow ski's with my twin sister. My mother made sure all her kids learned to ski and we were able to skip school for family ski days. I still ski with mom, she is 80 now and does a great stem Christie. Skiing is a great way to spend time with people we love and be outdoors. When the chance came up to give back to our skiing community through ski patrolling, I joined. Became as a member of NSP in 2001 and have had the opportunity to be an OEC Instructor, Senior Trainer, Local Patrol Hill Captain, Senior Evaluator, Region Treasurer, Division convention coordinator or co advisor, Region Award Advisor and Region Director.

Jack RamseyPNWD OET Supervisor
Crystal Mountain Ski Patrol I am the PNW Division OET Supervisor. The last couple seasons I’ve had the good fortune to travel to many of the ski areas in the division and meet some of the finest people in the world. Needless to say I am enjoying this position more than I could have imagined. It is however, a lot of ground to cover. So this season I will be getting help from George White of Mount Spokane. George has been the Inland Empire OET Advisor. Through working with him at several clinics and senior finals it has become quite apparent we have the same vision of the high quality skiing and tobogganing required for the PNWD. We will continue to press that vision forward throughout the Division and perhaps beyond. ramjax@icloud.com |

Sally SeelyePNWD Woman's Program Supervisor
White Pass Ski Patrol Growing up on Mercer Island in Washington State, Alpental was my ski home. Sunny days or pow days you would find me there rather than in school, whether I had to beg for rides or hitchhike. Oddly enough, my parents were fine with my missing school - so long as it was for skiing. In the mid 80s, pre-OEC and soon as I was old enough, I joined the Alpental Ski Patrol for a few years. Then life happened and skiing fell by the wayside. It took a long while before I finally found my way back, joining the White Pass Ski Patrol just a few years ago. Outside of ski season and when I'm not working selling houses, I can usually be found camping somewhere near water or in the mountains. Preferably both. |

Along the way, I’ve been an OEC IOR, lead on-hill trainer, MTR instructor, as well as other roles in both our region and on our patrol. I continue to teach in multiple subjects and love to help out the candidate class each season. Skiing has been a lifelong passion for me and patrol has given it purpose. I can’t imagine life without my patrol family and experiences. In fact, I married my patrol sweetheart just this last season on top of our mountain! Moving forward, I can’t wait to meet, help, and learn from patrollers throughout our Division. When I’m not patrolling, I can be found building and remodeling homes, riding Mt. Bikes, hiking, and showing my 3 year old “Harvey” all the world has to offer. gharvardwhite@gmail.com |
