Marcia Mundrick
Year inducted: 2016
Primary Patrol: Hunt Hollow, NY & Genesee Valley Nordic
Marcia joined the Bristol Mountain Ski patrol in NY’s Genesee Valley Section in 1977. The next year she began teaching First Aid, CPR and assisting in the Avalanche and MTR programs. When WEC was introduced she became one of the first certified instructors and has continued instructing in these programs over her 40 years as well as serving as IT, TE , and mentor.
When the Instructor Development program began in 1988, Marcia became involved with teaching this new course and was asked to travel to other Regions in the Eastern Division to train new instructors. When mentoring was introduced, Marcia with another educator, developed a mentoring program to promote consistency within the Region.
Administratively, she served as Assistant Section Chief and was the second elected Region Director in the newly formed Genesee Valley Region. She also served as Region OEC Advisor, Assistant Division Director and Division Instructor Development Supervisor.
In 2008 Marcia received a gold merit star for National Outstanding Instructor of the Year and in 2013 the Genesee Valley Region Outstanding OEC Instructor Award was named in her honor. She received her National #6636 in 1986 and a DSA in 2011. She is currently patrolling with Hunt Hollow and Genesee Valley Nordic ski patrols in the Genesee Valley Region.
Marcia’s most notable contribution is patroller education. Not only is she an excellent teacher, but she has played a major leadership role in the delivery of educational programs in her Region and Division. She has taught every course available in the National Ski Patrol (NSP) educational system except for Transportation and been an Instructor Trainer (IT) and/or Trainer Evaluator (T/E) in each field of instruction.
Education is the core of the National Ski Patrol, and Marcia’s teaching and educational leadership have been exemplary at all levels from National, Division, Region to the local patrol.
