Volunteers Needed
Volunteer program gives you the flexibility to earn as many coupons redeemable for lift tickets as you want. For each day you work as a part-time volunteer, you will receive an arm-band, which must be returned at the end of the day; this gives you the opportunity to free ski or ride on the days when races end early without using any of your earned coupons! Plus, you still receive two additional lift tickets and lunch for each full day you work.  If you would like to volunteer for this event, call Jarady —970-726-1589 or e-mail jzunno@skiwinterpark.com.
