Volunteering
As in years past, we need volunteers to help out with a few different activities. The days start at 8:00 am and go to approximately 4:00 pm at Whiteface. We are looking for the following: Slippers (intermediate and expert skiers only), Score Keepers, Hand Timers, Runners, Stewards, Athlete Drug Testing Chaperones, and Sponsor Tent Representatives. We provide lunch and beverages each day and volunteers receive a volunteer voucher which is good for one day of skiing at Whiteface, Gore or the Olympic Sports Complex Cross Country Center, or a winter or summer passport.
We will also need volunteers at our evening Quarter Pipe Exhibition, which will be on Saturday night at the Ski Jumps, from around 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. If you are interested please contact us as soon as possible.
If you have already contacted us and have not heard from us please leave another email or message and we will get back to you as soon as possible! Email at volunteers@orda.org or 800-462-6236 ext 286.
Volunteers can also get pertinent information like registration, the latest event info, future volunteer opportunities and a person to contact with any questions or issues for the World Cup Snowboard, or any upcoming event, at ORDA's volunteer page.
