What’s involved if you volunteer? Read on
Snacks at Races: The skiers always appreciate some good food and hot drinks before and/or after the race. Six parents are needed for each race. Two families bring the carbs; bagels, muffins, wholesome cookies; cut large muffins and bagels into smaller pieces. Two other families bring fruit; orange wedges, grapes or bananas are popular fruits. The hot chocolate mix, hot cider mix, or a sport drink mix is brought by the last two families. These families should also bring plastic spoons and cups. Hot and cold water and a table will be provided by the team. Bring enough healthy snacks for at least 50 skiers.
Spaghetti Feeds: Host a spaghetti feed – a great way to meet your skier’s teammates. Spaghetti dinners are held before races. They have typically run from 6-9 PM. You can expect up to 40 - 60 skiers. Experienced hosts and hostesses say don’t worry, it’s easy. We have “how to” tips for you. The kids are great and willing to help. We truly appreciate you opening your home to the ski team. If you would like to be reimbursed for your expenses the boosters club will gladly reimburse you. You just post the invitation with date, directions and time in the ski room and open up your house to 40+ wonderful teenagers. What could be easier?

Transport heater
and propane to races : You need to
transport propane and a heater to the race venue. If you volunteer for this job you pick up the
propane and heater at the end of one race, store them until the next race, and
deliver them the next race venue before the race. The heater goes in the team tent. It makes the tent a warm hangout much
appreciated by skiers and coaches.
Chaparones to ride bus on race day and help
distribute bibs.
The coaches often need to get to the race venue early. They need parent volunteers to ride to the races. Once you get to the race venue you can help pass out bibs. You don’t need to ride home on the bus.
