Today I spent the morning programming radios for use at this year's World Cup ski races at Lake Louise.

I've been involved as a volunteer at the races for a few years now and really enjoy the opportunity to "live and work" in the mountains for a week or ten days each year. We have a great group of volunteers and it's a blast to be part of the team that works hard to put together the track which tests the best men and women ski racers in the world.

If you're a strong skier and have some time you can volunteer the last week of November or first week of December, we'd love to hear from you.
