Volunteers Required

We are seeking volunteer course officials to help ensure the safe and enjoyable operation of our event courses for participants.

Roles for volunteer course officials include start marshals, gate judges, and, for our cross-country (XC) events, recorders and timers. Volunteers will be needed only for the duration of their assigned course, typically about 2 hours.

Each volunteer course official will receive a folder and, if they do not already possess a season pass, a complimentary lift pass from the event office on the day they volunteer. It is essential that volunteers check in at the race desk early enough to attend the course inspection.

All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer waiver.
