Unexcused Absences

For the next 10 days, we will both be working as volunteers for the Birds of Prey World Cup Ski Race.  We’ll join hundreds of other volunteers who come to Beaver Creek in Colorado each year to make this amazing race happen. These folks do work so difficult it would be impossible to find and hire personnel for this job. Why do we do it? To sum up an earlier blog post, we work in order to be part of an amazing community that contributes to the sport we so love. We’re proud of the astonishing amount of effort that we – and hundreds of others – will do in the days to come.

This is our fourth year working for the Talon Crew (as the volunteers are known). I also happen to be the official blogger for the Talon Crew  and will be posting stories from the trenches! You can check out all the behind-the-scenes action at TalonCrew.com.
