Getting
psyched for the Mount Snow Meet this weekend!
The Volunteer List is
attached to this Newsletter. Also we still need a few more volunteers specifically as
the Judge's Assistants. For new parents, jump in wherever you
can. Remember this is a warm up to the B Championships that are
back at Mount Snow in March!
The
Jump site is on Video Hill and the scoring will be done at the Grand
Summit. The jump site itself is going to be at the maximum
specifications for a B meet which will make a superb hill for our
competition. The
Mogul course is on Beartrap. The mountain has piled snow at the
top to eliminate the flat top section. Bumps will be built by the Head
Groomer, Neil, who has built bumps for the World Pro Mogul Tour.
There
have been a few questions regarding what is expected of volunteers and
what the specific responsibilities are for each volunteer
position. To answer the first part, we expect people to show up
when they are needed. To find the times please see the attached
volunteer list. There are enough volunteers so no one person is
overworked and we should have plenty of substitutes to relieve
volunteers for a short time during the competition. For
the responsibilities, only a few questions have come up, mainly dealing
with registration duties and course maintenance duties. For
registration it is vital that we are prepared and organized early on
Saturday morning, 700AM, (and remember to bring along you smiles).
We are lucky to have seasoned parent volunteers who have run
registration before. The volunteers with experience in the
registration will explain the procedures to the rest on Saturday
morning. For
course maintenance on Saturday we plan to head to the jump site around
7:30AM to chop the landing hill. We will need to chop the landing
hill, step the landing hill, fill in holes on the landing hill, step the
in-run and make sure the site is safe. Also help with the
assembling and disassembling of the staging for the judges' stand and
assist in putting it all back together at Beartrap after the Aerial
meet. For Sunday maintenance responsibilities include chopping the
landings of the jumps before the meet and scraping snow off of the jumps
during the meet to be assured that each competitor has a soft landing on
the jump and the jump is free of loose snow. Also, when the mogul
competition is finished we must disassemble the staging again and
load it on the snow cat. And yes, we will provide shovels.
