Every ski race depends on volunteers to assure safe, fun and competitive races.
Most of the jobs require no special skills, and for those that do, you’ll get the training you need. Your club’s Volunteer Coordinator will help you find a job that suits you well. Here are descriptions of some of the jobs:
