PARENTS
Volunteers are needed for race days!
For each and every race that Edelweiss hosts we need many volunteers to perform a number of duties both on the hill and in the lodge.
Each family is requested to volunteer five times during the season so that we have enough coverage for all the positions and can run a safe, fair, well organized and exciting race for all racers.
We use SignUpGenius, expect to see email links to this where you can register to assist. We thank you all and wish you a great ski season.
