Snowmass Winter Wild

I received an email from our buddy Brian Edmiston this morning asking for help with this year’s COSMIC Snowmass Winter Wild Race.  This is an awesome race that I encourage everyone to participate in either by racing or volunteering.  Please see Brian’s email below and come out to join us on February 21st!

From Brian:

Hey, sorry about the group email but I am trying to recruit volunteers or
participants for the third COSMIC race at Snowmass on Saturday February 21st.
 For course details go to cosmicski.com.  We need about 8 volunteers
total and currently have about three.
Here is the deal:
Volunteers will be stationed at transition areas or tricky navigation zones to
assist with encouraging racers, giving transition advice, assisting with
staying on course, accounting for racers, helping injured racers, etc.
 You do not need AT gear.   You will need extremely warm clothes.  You will have a
snowmobile drop you off at your spot or can skin if desired.  Need to be
ready to go by 630 am at Fanny Hill.  Race starts at 700 am.  Most
volunteers will be done by 900am or 1000 am. I need 1 or two volunteers that
are BC/Avy savvy that will be stationed at the cliff/avy zone along the
snowmass/buttermilk ridge and would be willing to run sweep after the final
racer and could also pick up flags or possibly anything that was dropped.
So why would you want to do this?
Volunteers get a 4 mountain lift ticket for that day, an additional lift ticket
for any other day, a cool piece of swag like a hat or polypro top, spectate a
really cool event and get to see the top rando racers.  If you don't want
to volunteer, then race it!
Thanks for taking the time to consider this and please forward as appropriate.
