VOLUNTEER ON THE TRAILS
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! Please see below for current volunteer opportunities and stay tuned for more details about upcoming trail projects.
For the 2022 trail season, when you sign up to volunteer on the trails with BETA you are automatically entered to win a Theragun Mini and other body care products, courtesy of High Peaks Cyclery in Lake Placid. Building and maintaining our local trails is hard work, but the Theragun Mini will help you recover faster so you can get back on your bike and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Drawings are done monthly, and the grand prize winner will be picked at the end of July.
**To qualify for the drawing, you must register below so that we have your contact information, and you must complete at least 4 hours of volunteer time**
