  • A comp is good for 2 weeks from the date of issue. If your guest does not use your comp, please send your original request email to  [email protected] and indicate NOT USED to get credit back in your bank.

Rollover Comps

  • You must patrol a minimum of 17 days to qualify for rollover comps.
  • All days patrolled in excess of 17 and after 3/1 are eligible and considered qualified for rollovers to the next season.
  • The maximum rollover is 5 comps.

Ongoing Commitment for all Patrollers

As a reminder, your commitment as a  Northstar Patroller is a total of 14 days on the hill.

We ask that if a patroller has an issue in making this commitment for the upcoming season, they notify by email Mike Fanelli, [email protected], before the start of the season (by 12/1) and also copy our Operations Officer, Dan Abbott, [email protected].

We appreciate everyone’s commitment to Patrol and understand that life issues do happen. If they do, please communicate.

Without any communication from you indicating that you are not able to meet the 14-day requirement restrictions will be imposed on your comps and dependent passes.
