Volunteers Needed
for the NorAm Cup Speed Series at Nakiska
Monday to Friday, December 5 to 9, 2011
Would you like to spend a week at Nakiska with all of your expenses paid? Would you like to see 17 to 25 year old athletes push the limits in their quest to be among the fastest ski racers in the world?
Perhaps the Audi NorAm Cup at Nakiska is the place for you! We start with course preparation on Monday, Dec. 5, Super G racing on Dec. 6 and 7, then Ladies’ Super Combined on Dec. 8 and Men’s Super Combined on Dec. 9. Super Combined is a two run race with a Super G run in the morning and a Slalom run in the afternoon.
We are looking for people to come out to Nakiska from Monday morning till end of race Friday (or any part) to volunteer at the Audi NorAm Cup at Nakiska. We do have some jobs for the young and strong, however most of the open spots are great for anyone who just likes to be out on the ski hill.
We provide shared accommodation at The Delta, Kananaskis, breakfast, bag lunch, dinner, lift ticket, post-race socializing, a volunteer appreciation party on Wednesday evening and a volunteer gift for anyone who works more than 2 days.
