Volunteer Information
Mountain Creek Ski Racing Club (MCSRC) is a family volunteer organization that supports the race program at Mountain Creek and promotes social interaction among the families. Our organization financially supports coach training seminars and equipment purchases, expands parent knowledge of ski racing, develops pre-season strength training for the athletes, and organizes out-of-state ski trips and social events. Most important, MCSRC parents provide the volunteer force that makes race day at Mountain Creek possible. All USSA racers are required to become members of MCSRC and their families are expected to volunteer at races when possible. Annual membership of $100 per racer is included with Mountain Creek Alpine Development Program. Donations from YSL and Hedda Hurricanes families are encouraged to help our young ski racer athletes.
Volunteer Opportunities
Mountain Creek Ski Racing Club depends on parent participation to ensure our season runs smoothly. Becoming active in our club as a volunteer is one of the best ways you can learn more about the sport of racing and our club. Registered families receive important information about all of our ski programs. Please be sure to review the list of Volunteer Descriptions for more information on volunteer opportunities.
This season we have several opportunities available for you to consider:
Race Volunteers – Volunteer on Race Day. Each race requires approximately 28 volunteers in order to be successful.
Special Events Volunteer – Every year MCSRC holds several special events and we need volunteers to help organize and run these events for the club.
