Consider signing up for an Alpine Official's License on the USSA application. It qualifies you to work as Start Referee, Finish Referee, Head Gatekeeper, and other interesting Race Worker jobs.  We will be losing most of our Alpine Officials in the next couple years as their athletes graduate....if GSC is to continue holding races we will need 5 or more new AO's.  If you have younger athletes and can work on the hill please consider this.  We will train!
