Crew Info
The
prinicple task of the
Finish Crew is to build and maintain the Finish Corral, a
specially
fenced area in which racers stop after crossing the finish line.
The Finish Crew builds the Finish Corral a day or two before the first training run and then takes the corral down immediately following the last race, at the end of the event.
On race days, crew members need to be on hand to make repairs in the event that a racer "challenges" the corral fence. Also, every night the corral is "opened up" to permit groomers to pass into the corral area. Each morning, the opening has to be closed off and the corral returned to it's normal state, ready for the day's racing.
In
2008, with four World
Cup events, we
expect that there will be a significant amount of work to be done in
setting up and maintaining the
entire Finish Area. There will be
more formal areas for holding racers, media areas and VIP areas to
build and maintain. There may also be bleachers to
construct
and take down. In addition, the corral will be wider, so as
to accommodate both men's and woment's tracks. New fencing
matierial is expected to permit the larger corral..
The Finish Crew is a great option for volunteers who are not strong skiers, but who want to be involved in some way, on the snow.
Many Finish Crew members also belong to the Beer Tent crew and/or the Transportation Crew, as part time drivers.
