Committee Members

We have a number of committees that tackle different agendas every year. Check them out below and for more info or to volunteer, email info@vass.ca.

Winter Online Silent Auction Committee – This is a new adventure for us, launching an online silent auction November 16th-23rd with a goal of raising $15000. We will need help in: contacting potential donors for auction items; determine online platform; and in some cases distribution to winning bidders. Committee starts the end of October (although you may join anytime prior to November 16th launch) and then action as required, about 2 hours a week seeking auction items.

VASS Snowfest Committee (Formerly VASS CUP) – We have had an amazing group of people spearheading this fundraiser for several years… and this year I am hopeful to have most of them back. New members are always welcome. First meeting will be mid November for planning, followed by weekly check-in meetings and actionable items for all.

Wrench Committee – Our equipment curator, Rick Turnbull, will be forming a team of mechanically inclined peeps who are keen to learn about properly maintaining sit skis, waxing and edging skis, shock adjustments, full setup and adjustment of all sit skis, maintaining the brand new Tetraski and more. Group meeting in the beginning of October to kick things off and start sharing knowledge.

Social Committee – This is all new. I am looking for a small group of people to assist in social events planning, including mid-season & year end events and a summer social.

Tetraski Committee/ Instructors – This group is a little about marketing and promotion of our awesome new TETRASKI as well as for instructors who would like to learn how to assist in Tetraski lessons and possibly become pilots so they can run lessons. Members should have some daytime weekday flexibility as this is when most of these lessons will be delivered. First meeting in October to set out a plan with on snow sessions as soon as possible. Some dryland training opportunities may become available before the snow.
