I'm an expert skier but do not have a medical background
Answers:
Are you regular or goofy?
If you're an expert skier you would probably already know how. However, most ski resorts (at least here in Utah) have ski patrol tryouts or a junior ski patrol program. You don't need to be a doctor to be on patrol but you will need basic things like CPR training. Some patrols do complete in house training and certification. The easiest way to find out what you need to do would be to call the patrol you're interested in joining and find out their requirements. However, if you're trying to get on the Alta ski patrol just don't be an A hole. They have enough already

X country skiing: is it possible to actually build muscle tissue from this sport? To have a noticeable change?
To be a member of NSP (National Ski Patrol), you have to complete OEC (Outdoor Emergency Care) and CPR training. This is available through NSP...who you should contact about this depends on what region you are in. Once you pass the medical requirements, there is a ski test. It is really not that hard...it basically tests mastery of fundamentals. You will have to practice a few things before hand, like skiing with a loaded sled behind you, but if you are anything approaching an "expert" skier, it shouldnt be too difficult for you. Bottom line, check out www.nsp.org or call your local mountain and get hooked in with their ski patrol...they will be the ones who will train you.
