Volunteer at the Klondike Snowmobile Association!
The Klondike Snowmobile Association is very much a volunteer based organization, and we’re proud of our many award-winning volunteers. Although volunteering is completely optional when you join, we do encourage our members to come out and help when they can.
Below is a list of projects we are looking for volunteers to help with. If you are interested in any of them please contact us via e-mail at klonsnow@gmail.com, phone us at 867 667 7680, or come to any of our monthly meetings (dates and details are on our Events page).
*Although we appreciate enthusiasm, please contact us before partaking in any trail work so we can provide some guidance on applicable rules, regulations and standards that will prevent you and us from getting into trouble. A current Klondike Snowmobile Association membership is also required to operate any of our equipment.*
Summer Trail Workers Wanted
Several of the multi-use trails in the Whitehorse area have become overgrown and are in need of some brush clearing and signage updating. We’re putting together a list of people willing to help, so if you are interested let us know! We will also be posting the dates and locations on our Events page, so any and all volunteers are welcome to come on out to any of our trail work events. Volunteer positions include: chain saw operator, brush saw operator, hand tool operators, and general labour / swamper positions. All necessary tools will be provided and there will be no cost to any volunteers other than getting yourself to the work sites.
Event Organizers Wanted
Do you have an idea for a snowmobile event? Make it a K.S.A. group ride! We are always looking for people to organize some snowmobile events or group rides over the winter. As a volunteer event organizer your duties would include planning the date and time, selecting a starting location and route, and leading the way on the day of the ride. We can handle the rest for you. If you are interested please let us know at klonsnow@gmail.com or phone 867 667 7680.
Trails Page Writers Wanted
On our website we’ve created a Yukon Trails page, featuring some basic information about the routing and the history behind various multi-use trails around the Yukon. We would like to expand this page to include more trails, so if you are interested in doing a short write up about your favourite trail please do and send it in! If it’s suitable for our website we’ll add it to our Yukon Trails page, and if you would like the credits for your writing to appear with your article just let us know and we’d be more than happy to accommodate that. Please send all submissions through e-mail to klonsnow@gmail.com.
