Return to Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to volunteer?

Yes.  Remember, you get out of an organization, what you put into it.  This is a parent run organization.  We are not a paid organization and the program will only be able to continue if we all volunteer.

Who do I contact to volunteer on race day? What if I do not ski? ALPINE

There are many facets to running an Alpine event.  The club becomes flooded with enthusiastic racers from all over the region!

On the race hill, WPRC coaches up before “the crack of dawn”, setting the course, putting up “B” netting etc…What you may do as parent, is help the race run smoothly by volunteering!

For each race, (races posted on the web site under the “Alpine” tab), there are so many jobs to pick from.  If you do not ski, there are inside jobs available at the lunch area, bottom of the hill gate keeping, the timing hut, registration, and crowd control finish line area and bib collection.  For those of you who do ski, there are many jobs to choose from in addition to the non skiing duties! Gate keeping and many more!

Who do I contact to volunteer on competition day? What if I do not ski? FREESTYLE

Parents are always welcome to stop by practice to watch, to help the coaches build jumps, to maintain landing area and to monitor the jump sites.  This year, WPRC will be hosting 4 freestyle events.  We will need parents to help out with the registration, timing, course construction, awards, hospitality and internet technology support.  The freestyle team will have an organizational meeting around the New Year for the 1st event to be held in January.  Please keep posted to the web site for all meetings and dates!             

To volunteer, please contact Chris Huffman at freestyle.volunteers@wprcskiteam.org
