Volunteer Requirements

Hours Required: 160

As the oldest nonprofit in the Vail Valley, Ski & Snowboard Club Vail relies on the generosity and commitment of its families and community. Each year, hundreds of volunteers contribute thousands of hours to support competitions, fundraising efforts, and club operations. This involvement is essential to SSCV’s ability to deliver high-quality programming while keeping costs as accessible as possible.

All SSCV families are required to complete a set number of volunteer hours throughout the season. Volunteer opportunities are available year-round and include both on-snow and off-snow roles. The total requirement is based on your athlete’s program, and for families with multiple athletes, the highest program requirement will apply.

Volunteer hours are tracked through your MySSCV account, where families can view their balance and sign up for available opportunities.

For questions regarding volunteer requirements, point balances, or on-snow opportunities, please contact Land Collioure Le Coq at llecoq@skiclubvail.org. For off-snow and event-related opportunities, please contact Liz Filipowicz at lfilipowicz@skiclubvail.org.

Please note that failure to meet volunteer requirements may result in a reevaluation of your family’s participation in SSCV programs and alignment with the club’s culture of involvement.

Facilities + Technical Support

Training is based primarily at Golden Peak, providing athletes with access to one of the premier alpine training environments in North America.

Athletes benefit from early-season snowmaking, high-volume gate training, and access to varied terrain. Additional training opportunities may include domestic and international camps to support progression and exposure to high-level competition environments.

Strength Training

At the FIS level, performance optimization is a key focus. Athletes work closely with SSCV Technical Services to ensure equipment is tuned and optimized for both training and race conditions.

Strength and conditioning are fully integrated through SSCV’s Human Performance Program. Athletes follow individualized, periodized training plans focused on strength, power, mobility, and injury prevention—supporting peak performance and long-term development.
