2025 State Winter Games - ALPINE / SNOWBOARDING

Friday / Saturday / Sunday at Mission Ridge

Friday: Qualifying events.  Athletes will be competing for time and placement for Saturday & Sunday's competitions.

 

You'll receive this information prior to the event as well but ALL Volunteers will check in at the daily morning meeting held in our reserved room in the lodge.  The recap of the day's events/schedule will be discussed, general instructions given, etc.  General Volunteers will then be given their assignment and will receive more detailed training/instructions that is more role-specific.  

 

Any volunteer that is required to be “On Mountain”, using the lifts, will be issued a lift ticket for that day.  If you are a season ticket holder for Mission Ridge, please use that to lessen our expenses.  **AGAIN, all skiers and snowboarders MUST be at least at the Intermediate Skill Level and above.

 

Even if you are scheduled to volunteer “On Base” or in the lodge, please dress appropriately for the snow, cold, wind, rain, etc.  While you won't need skis/snowboards or a lift ticket, you need to wear snow boots and snow gear, not jeans.

 

Thank you for your interest in volunteering!  If you haven't already, you'll need to create an account at https://portals.specialolympics.org before you can register for any of the shifts below!
