World-Class Volunteers Like many other Not-for-Profit organizations, much of what we do is a labor of love. Our dedicated volunteer Boards give a great deal of their personal and professional time to ensure that our many programs are prepared to offer “Healthy Choices” to our community’s youth. It is our intent as parents and friends on the Board to lead by example! We rely heavily on the network of ASSC parents, friends, and sponsors who have self-educated themselves to lend technical and administrative support for our club’s local, regional, and national-caliber events, making those staged here “Best in Class”. Throughout the year ASSC puts on __ Junior races, __ Mighty Mite races, and __Masters races, in addition to hosting several Youth Ski League races and other regional races for the Alaska Division of USSA. Each one of these events depends on the facilities, volunteers and organization of the Alyeska Ski Club. Up to seventy volunteers are required to put on each race including: coaches, judges, gatekeepers, timing officials, course crew and office staff. Since our inception nearly forty years ago ASSC has provided volunteers for numerous US National Junior Olympic Alpine Championship and World Cup Alpine Skiing events. In the past five seasons ASSC volunteers have directly participated in the 2001 Special Olympics World Winter Games, 2002 NCAA Alpine Skiing Championships, the 2004 United States Skiing Association (USSA) National Alpine Skiing Championship, and the 2006 Arctic Winter Games. In 2007 Alyeska Resort and the Alyeska Ski Club will again host the United States Skiing Association (USSA) National Alpine Skiing Championships, and also host the F.I.S.Elite Series Speed Event. More volunteers are needed to fill the wide variety of positions to put on these events. Alyeska Ski Club also holds several fundraising events throughout the year that require the help of volunteers. There are many opportunities to help out, so come join the fun!
