Teaching Kids life skills through the Love of Skiing

Volunteering

DSCN1687

Parent volunteers play a major role in the success of our programs. Without the participation of parents we wouldn’t be able to organize races. Club races and our annual Nancy Greene Festival acts as an informal and fun introduction to racing for our athletes and parent volunteers. Zone and FIS races expose our athletes to higher levels of competition without the cost of traveling to away hills.

For those new to ski racing, the unknown can be quite overwhelming and intimidating. All the jobs are easy and we are here to help, answer questions and will do our best to mix experienced and new volunteers.

Volunteer Buy Out

We ask that families volunteer for at least 3 days either before, during or after the season.We have lots of jobs that need to be filled. Some jobs are done on the hill and others are off so EVERYONE can volunteer! For those families that can't volunteer, there is a Volunteer Buy Out program of $300 that can be selected at the time of registration.
