CCSA has a constant need for skiers of an intermediate
level or above. Volunteers are thoroughly trained by CCSA
staff to teach those with disabilities to ski using adaptive
equipment and special techniques. Dry land training begins
in mid-November, followed by on-hill ski training in mid-December,
and weekly sessions through the middle of February.
We are looking for dedicated, caring individuals who will
make time in their busy lives to share their love of skiing
with others who need specialized instruction. Not only will
this position challenge and spark your creativity, but you
will reap tremendous benefits when you share the thrill of
small victories with your student. A grin stretching from
ear to ear, a boisterous snow fight or a quiet moment shared
over steaming chocolate, all are priceless rewards.
Volunteer Requirements:
Must be at least an intermediate skier, able to ski the
quad at Cannonsburg
Ski Area in a controlled manner.
Must be able to lift and carry at least 50 pounds. (Applicable
to certain disciplines only).
Must have all necessary paperwork completed and turned in.
Must complete the required training unless you are a current
PSIA Certified Adaptive Ski Instructor. Please check out the
training schedule for more details.
Non-skiing volunteers are also needed to assist with weekly
registration, Special Events, bookkeeping, equipment management
and student assistance.
