On snow training is essential. NUHS is about an hour from the Auburn Ski Club. To keep the team costs to a minimum we need to have parent volunteers to drive athletes to training. The regular schedule is to train at the Auburn Ski Club on Wednesday afternoons directly after school.

We will additionally need drivers to get to the CNISSF races which are on Fridays.

The team cannot train effectively without the regular help of parent volunteers. Because this is a school-based program there are requirements on insurance coverage that must be met. Please fill out the paper-work, which is available from the Student Store, and return it along with a copy of your insurance policy showing the coverage limits as well as a copy of your drivers license. If two parents plan to drive on different occasions they must both submit the form to the school.  This year we are also going to need parent drivers to fill out the school Chaperone for Field Trip form.
