Nationally, on the third of February, annually, is held the Canadian Ski Patrol Day, celebrated within ski resorts across the country. Activities typically include ski patrol shadowing, a variety of games for children, safe slaloming, etc. In 2016 and 2017, the CSP attempt to break the snow angels Guinness World Record on Canadian Ski Patrol Day by inviting fellow Canadians to put on a snowsuit and make snow angels in ski resorts and public areas across Canada in order to beat the old record of 15,851 people. Hundreds of ski resorts across the country, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, took part in the event, both in 2016 and 2017.
