Volunteer

Want to get even more involved with your local trails? PVST runs on volunteers. Ambassadors welcome guests and share trail info. Coaches and instructors put kids and first-time skiers on snow. Together they're the reason these trails, and the barrier-free ski education programs they fund, exist.

Friday, November 6 at Mountain Springs Lodge

HELP WANTED:

ANNUAL AUCTION

SAVE THE DATE!

Our annual auction is the single most important fundraiser for the Plain Valley Nordic Team, and we need a few more hands to pull it off.

BUSINESS DONOR
FOLLOW-UP LEAD:
Coordinate follow-up with businesses after our initial contact. Great for someone organized and comfortable on the phone or over email.

DONATION PICKUP TEAM:
Collect donations from local businesses and deliver them to Kathi. Flexible timing, and a good fit if you'd rather be driving around town than sitting at a desk.

Interested in either role?
Email christie@skiplain.com and we'll get you plugged in.

More auction details to follow!

HOW IT WORKS:

Pick the role that fits, complete the online agreement, and a program coordinator will reach out with training and scheduling details.
