VOLUNTEER ON THE TRAILS
BETA maintains over 130 miles of trails for ski touring and mountain biking in the region, and dedicated BETA volunteers are responsible for much of this work on an annual basis. You can get involved by volunteering at a trail day and give back to the trails you love to ride and ski! Please see below for current volunteer opportunities and stay tuned for more details about upcoming trail projects.
Please note: people under 18 years old must be accompanied by a guardian or have prior approval from BETA and a signed waiver in order to attend group rides and work parties. Contact [email protected] for approval.

Log your volunteer hoursIf you spend time caring for the trails please log your hours in the form we made just for you.
This helps us capture the tricky statistic of exactly how much time goes into creating and maintaining high-quality trails. It also helps us figure out where work is needed and when. Thank you for volunteering and thank you for reporting on it! |
Our volunteer days are an awesome and rewarding opportunity to cultivate a sense of pride in where we ride and meet more folks who care about our trails. Volunteers have helped build and maintain all of the trails in the BETA network and this is your next chance to be a part of that legacy -- don't miss it!
All of our volunteer days are meant to be fun, satisfying, and reasonable for the average person. We're not interested in driving workhorses, we're interested in meeting you and connecting you with the trails. All are welcome* and we are excited to see you out there. We have many, many folks ready to show you the ropes. If you have questions about our work days, please reach out to [email protected]
*Truly, all are welcome. We would love to see everyone out there. The trails we work on are generally not accessible with wheeled mobility devices and difficult to navigate with other kinds of mobility devices. If the trails aren't ready for your wheels, we'll happily hang out at the trailhead after trail work wraps up for the day. Celebrating as a community is an important part of what we do and we're stoked to do so with you.
