Join us for the US's largest bicycling event, the Sea Otter Classic, April 7-10, 2022 at Laguna Seca Raceway between Monterey and Salinas, CA.
This huge event, with 9,500 participants, 60,000 spectators and 400+ trade show exhibitors, offers a fun, team-building and fund-raising opportunity for FWD patrols and patrollers/spouses/friends and family.
Please note that each patroller or course marshal earns $30 per day for their work (for your patrol) and that we have several SAG driver positions ($100 per day, that we assign to the patrols with the largest number of members in attendance). Six months ago, the Sea Otter Foundation shared $6,900 with FWD patrols in thanks for patroller service.
Volunteer Benefits:
· Free admission to the four day event (an $80 value),
· Free camping at “Ski Patrol Central” for tents, motorhomes or trailers
· Free lunch and cool t-shirt
· Big Saturday NSP barbecue (build new NSP contacts, friendships).
To Volunteer, send name, email, cell phone, days available, t-shirt size, and if you need tent/trailer space to Tim Viall.
If you or any friends and family are interested in joining the volunteer ski patrol or the paid staff of any SoCal mountain, this is your first step!
