First ski patrol

User:Skalkaho recently added the section First Aid Committee -1933 with International Ski Heritage Journal 2009 as the reference. I just closed the reference tag (</ref>) to fix the cite error, but couldn't find the source the user have used. Maybe he was referring to the Skiing Heritage Journal but the only sources there about the section are [1], [2] and [3], all of which are reader letters to the journal that are not even agreeing with each other. One mentioned source on those letters is Winter Sports by Norman Debelius. Sadly, I was unable find this source. I'm adding the appropriate tags to the section. Nimuaq (talk) 09:14, 5 May 2011 (UTC) User:JimSchaefer AKA Skalkaho Original author of the "First Aid Committee- 1933 insert. For some unknown reason my Skalkaho user name was not recognized so I created another. The additions were made based on direct knowledge of the history, as my parents were organizers of both the Snow Train from Schenectady to North Creek in 1934, and subsequent trains prior to WWII. My mother was the late Lois Perret Schaefer )1901-1992) and my late father, Dr. Vincent J Schaefer (1906-1993). Dad was president of the Mohawk Valley Hiking Club and the Schenectady Wintersports Club. It was he who initiated connections with the North Creek trail cutters from the American Legion in 1932/33. Citations are letters to the International Ski Heritage Journal, which I wrote in 2009. But the story was written by my father and printed with quotations in Norman Debilius' book Winter Sports (Publication of the Schenectady Wintersports Club, and in the local Schenectady newspaper The Daily Gazette of that date (3/34). A chapter on this topic will also be published in the spring of 2012 in my late father's autobiography "Serendipity in Science." When that publication is available with pagination and dates, I will update this entry. The changes to the article of this date (12/28/2011) were the spelling of Pete Gay mountain which was erroneously entered as Pate Gay and one other minor spelling error. talk 8:59, 28 December 2011

Mount Mansfield

Mount Mansfield had the first ski patrol in 1934. Gore also starting patrolling in 1934 but are claiming 1933 as the conceptual start of the first aid committee. In 1933 the Mount Mansfield Ski Club also authorized the establishment of the patrol. The section in the article claiming "The First Aid Committee of 1933 anticipated the much needed assistance pioneered by Minnie Dole five (5) years later in conjunction with care for injured ski racers who were pushing limits of speed and technique. The first ski patrol was about helping mountainside injuries to regular ski enthusiasts—not racers." is factually not correct.
