Sea Otter Classic (Volunteer Opportunity)

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.
