• Inclusive Ski Touring 2027 Volunteer Application

  • A note before you start. This application is longer than the one we used before, and that is on purpose. Every question here does a job: it tells us where you can volunteer and how often, what you would like to take on, and what you need from us, so we can place you well, pair you with the right people, and plan a season that runs smoothly for everyone on the hill. We built it with care, with last season's volunteers in mind, to set this season up to succeed. Most people finish it in about ten minutes. Thank you for giving us the time.

  • About you

  • Format: (000) 000-0000.

  • IST volunteers are 18 and over. Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We would love to stay in touch: join our newsletter at inclusiveskitouring.org/newsletter.

  • Have you volunteered with IST before?*
  • Which seasons have you volunteered with IST?*
  • Which roles have you held?*

  • Would you mentor a new volunteer this season?
  • Have you been on an IST program as a participant? If so, which season first?*
  • How did you hear about volunteering with IST?

  • Where you can volunteer

  • Which mountains could you volunteer at?*

  • Your role and programs

  • Leads have volunteered on two IST tours, at any location. At new locations, IST approves leads on experience.

  • Which role are you signing up for?*
  • Which programs would you like to support?*

  • Weekday touring group

  • An informal, run-club-style meetup before or after work, there to build community. It is not an IST program: no participant signup or payment, and no rental gear. We are building it with our volunteers, starting with where you would want it.

  • IST is building a weekday touring group with our volunteers. Would you like to be part of it?*
  • Before or after work?
