Parent helpers: To make it a positive experience for our racers, there are a number of roles we need help with during the race in order to helper skiers have the best event possible. We will assign roles on the day of each race:
- Penalty loop counter: We will need one parent to station in the penalty loop on Sunday
- Course support: We station someone on course to provide support during the ski race on both days
- Start/finish: We station someone at the start/finish area to make sure each skier makes their start time on time and has a friendly face at the finish area on both days
- Zero/range coaches: We will need 1 extra coach in the range on Saturday and 2 extra coaches in the range on Sunday
