Red Mountain Racers is a club with athletes from 6 years and older that includes; Nancy Greene Ski League (NGSL), K1, K2, and FIS programs.  Throughout the years, we have been able to keep our program fees among the lowest in the country by using volunteers and fundraising to subsidize the costs of operating the club.


 

Red Mountain Racers' programs are funded by:

·       registration fees from local athletes (about 16.3%)

·       fees from visiting academy athletes (about 11.8%

·       fees from visiting short-term athletes (about 7.8%)

·       grants - BC Gaming Commission (about 8.2%)

·       fundraising - (about 31.1%)

·       races held at Red (about 24.8%)

 

You can see that the fees we charge our local athletes only accounts for a small portion of the clubs costs and the fees are heavily subsidized by fundraising, grants and out-of-town athletes.  About 35.9% of the clubs budget comes from our registration fees and there are many ways you can help out and keep these fees low.  Prior experience with ski racing is not required and if you’re new to the club, welcome – we’re sure you’ll find it fun once you get involved! 

 

The Red Mountain Racers appreciates your assistance in volunteering, and are proud to provide you with our Subsidized Registration Fee.  This fee is only a portion of the programs true costs, so your volunteer time is crucial.

Volunteer Program - Number of required Participation Days

*If you are registering more than one child, only refer to child in highest level program.

Below is a table with the minimum number of days you are required to volunteer in order to qualify for the program subsidy.  If you are able to assist the club with additional days, it is greatly appreciated.

If you are unable fulfill your duties, you will be charged for the day(s) missed.  This means, the Opt Out Fee (see Option 2) will be divided by the number of days in the table below and you will be charged for that missed day(s). 

Example - Each day a NGSL parents misses is equal to a charge of $100 per day.  

 

 

NGSL

(2 Day) K Racer

(3 Day) K Racer

*If you have volunteered for an event, but for reasons beyond your control cannot fulfill your duties, it is your responsibility to find a replacement and/or notify the event organizer.


 All  families of a K or FIS Racer are asked act as a Chief of Event, Mentor, or Assistant for at least one major funding activity per season in addition to the required credited days . These events play a key role in the success of the club and as such families who have been in the club longer and are familiar with its goals are better able to ensure the quality and success of the event.


Option 2 - Volunteer "OPT OUT FEE"

 

If you cannot, or choose not to participate in fundraising, race events and planning, you can instead pay an "Opt-Out Fee" .  This Opt Out Fee, is added to the Subsidized Registration Fee, and combined, this equals the Total Fees of your child’s program. 

This Total Fee is already being charged to out-of-town athletes in the Red Mountain Racer Academy programs whose parents do not reside in the area, and thus, cannot fundraise.

Once again, this fee is only charged if you cannot, or choose not to participate in our Volunteer efforts.
