Volunteers Make This Club!

The Ski Club is run on volunteer power.  Members volunteer to lead Jackrabbits groups, train high performance skiiers and biathletes, organize special events (including loppets, races, potluck dinners, etc), clear and groom trails, and maintain the facilities, machinery and equipment.

See Volunteers 2009 poster. (PDF) 

Some jobs are formal (see job descriptions under Board Business section) while others are more informal.  Big or small, long- or short-term, find out how you can help.  Learn new skills like officiating races, grooming trails or coaching kids.  Bring your talents and energy to the Ski Club where you will have a great time getting to know fellow members.

Ski Lessons to start the new Year?

Start 2010 healthy! Ski Lessons are available at the ski Club. Details can be found on this webside under SKIING - SKI LESSONS

If you are new to skiing or haven’t done it for ages, we recommend that you start with classic lessons then move to skating when you are comfortable with your balance and glide.
