The Northern Michigan Region of the National Ski Patrol wants everyone — patrollers, candidates, instructors, families and the public — to be able to use this website, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, voice control or other assistive technology.
Our standard
This site seeks to conform to Level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and following them makes the site easier to use for everyone.
What we do
- We check pages with automated accessibility testing tools (such as WAVE and axe) and by testing with a keyboard.
- We check new pages, events and forms the same way as they are added.
- Pages work on phones and when zoomed in, every image has a text description, and forms such as event registration and waivers can be completed with a keyboard.
- Accessibility is an ongoing effort. This page will be updated as improvements are made.
Known limitations
- PDF documents. Some older PDFs, such as training materials and forms, may not be fully accessible to screen readers. Ask us for any document in another format and we will provide it.
- Third-party content. Some features come from outside services — including the event calendar and registration, ticket checkout, and social media links — and links to patrol and partner websites we do not control. We work to make what appears on our pages accessible, but we cannot guarantee the accessibility of other organizations’ sites.
Feedback and help
If you have trouble using any part of this website, need information in a different format, or have a suggestion for making the site more accessible, please email webmaster@nspnmr.org. Let us know the page address and what you were trying to do, and we will help you get the information or complete the task another way.
