VOLUNTEER
BETA maintains over 100 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! See the links and information below to learn more.
COVID UPDATE - At the onset of the pandemic in March, BETA made the decision to cancel public volunteer work days and other events involving gatherings. This was a difficult decision, but we felt it was the right thing to do to help keep our staff, volunteers, project partners and the wider community safe. Many important projects were accomplished this summer by the BETA Trail Crew and local trail adopters. Huge thanks to everyone who has helped on the trails so far this season!
As we head into the fall of 2020, BETA remains vigilant about helping to prevent the spread of COVID. We are bringing back public volunteer trail work opportunities, but will continue to limit group size and will require pre-registration in an effort to make volunteers feel comfortable and safe. See below for current volunteer opportunities and stay tuned for more details about fall trail projects.
