Ski Patrols Needed!


Hello CNSC members! We are recruiting Ski Patrols for the upcoming 2010/11 season! The ski patrols help to keep everyone safe while skiing and respond to any First Aid situations. The CNSC also relies on Ski Patrols to provide first aid at the Jack Rabbits program and all race events!

Why would you want to join the ski patrol?? Here are some good reasons:

1)      You will receive excellent first aid training from the Canadian Ski Patrol Service (CSPS)

2)      The ski patrol training costs ($200) will be reimbursed by the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club

3)      As a member of the Canadian Ski Patrol, you will receive FANTASTIC promo deals on ski equipment and other goodies! AND discounted ski passes at some alpine ski areas!

4)      You will be trained to drive the snowmobile and use a hand-held radio!

5)      You will be part of an exclusive small group of CNSC members who like wearing yellow!

6)       You will be invited to all of the events held at the club throughout the season; CNSC Loppet, Ice Man, Canada and BC Cup events and all Jack Rabbit sessions

7)      You will get into great shape, skiing around the trails and volunteering at the same time!

8)      You will be able to eat free cookies and juice after Jack Rabbits sessions!

9)      You will be entered to win many cool draw prizes at all of the events!

 

We all have very busy lives, so you are probably wondering what amount of time commitment is required. I am hoping to recruit a team of 6 Ski Patrols to cover all of the events this season. We would all be expected to attend 3-4 Jack Rabbit Sessions and 3 race events. This is a total of approximately 20-25hrs for the entire season!! Tuesday evenings and weekends are when these events are held.

 

Being part of the CNSC Ski Patrol is a great way to learn new skills, get in shape and give some volunteer time to the club. If you are interested, or know anyone else who is, please contact me as soon as possible (mjshoema@yahoo.com) as the training starts in September!
