Uniform Patrol Cross graphic evokes the tradition and commitment to “service & safety” as pledged by the first female ski patrollers.
Three years after the inception of the National Ski Patrol in 1938, the group dedicated to mountain “service & safety” welcomed its first female member, Dorothy McClung Wullich. A member of the San Diego Ski Club, Dorothy was a natural athlete and was appointed to the Ski Patrol after just four years on skis. A formidable and powerful racer within the Southern California event circuit, Dorothy gained recognition and notoriety when she and five other men of the San Diego Ski Club skied into Cuymaca Peak to deliver 150 pounds of food and nourishment to stranded Rangers whose job it was to scan the skies for enemy aircraft during the height of World War II.
To honor Dorothy and the first cadre of female ski patrollers, Alps & Meters has designed the Cashmere Ski Race Knit Patrol. A tailored & timeless garment emblazoned with the Ski Patrol's iconic uniform patrol cross, this classic ski sweater celebrates all of those whose passion has been dedicated to a life of mountain service & safety.
