The makeup of the event crew can really be the difference between a smooth event and a disorganized one.  Contributing time and energy to helping these things happen is a rewarding experience and gives you a unique point of view into what goes on behind the scenes.  We make an enormous effort to ensure the work requested of you is a fair trade for what we give you in return.  Reliability, consistency, and eagerness to step up are all great traits to bring to the table. We will be handling communication through email.

Expectations: You will be working ~1/3 of the event.  This can be a single whole day shift or two half day shifts.  Whole day shifts are preferred to ease operations and there will be crew whose job it is to give crew breaks and bring food/supplies up to corner workers as needed.

RIDE OR DIE CREW - I'm implementing a similar crew as we did at Tepe '22.  This crew isn't assigned many specific tasks and is instead meant to fill in for the unexpected things that arise.  This COULD be to help cover something catastrophic (we had trucks break down and need to get new ones in town), but is mostly a lot of small things and filling gaps.  Mostly, though, it's helping get people parked in the morning, helping fill in if someone needs a break, or getting people food, or if a worker isn't responding to a radio check you'll skate down solo to check up on them.  We'll also have you come to the morning crew meetings to check in if we have any unexpected openings.  At maryhill this crew won't be expected to help with setup or takedown (though it is appreciated) to keep work loads even across positions.

Hay Crew - Responsible for setup and cleanup.  You are expected to be at the hill the day before the event ***Friday the 2nd*** so we can start setup by 10am and to stay after the event until we are done cleaning, which could be as late as ***830pm on Monday the 5th***.  Must be able to lift 60 lbs repeatedly.  Bring a great attitude and work ethic.
***FRIDAY BEFORE EVENT AND MONDAY EVENING AFTER EVENT***

Corner watcher - The backbone of the rider safety crew.  You will be positioned in a corner with a radio and a flag to be eyes and ears as well as a first responder.  You'll need to be at the crew meeting the morning of your shift(s) at 8am so we can get you up on the course and start runs by 9am.

Top/Bottom hill course crew - These positions work either end of the course.  You will be interfacing directly with riders.  Hilltop will be helping hold riders until the course is clear and then hold riders again in the case of a red flag.  Bottom course crew will help keep the shutdown area clear and interface with e-boarders and uphill traffic.  

Shuttle Truck driver - This position will have you driving one of our 26 foot box trucks up and down the hill.  Must have driver's license and be comfortable driving a large vehicle safely and smoothly.  We will need drivers during setup on Friday as well as after hours on Sunday during cleanup.

Shuttle truck fetcher/returner - We need a set of people to help get the trucks at the start of the event and return them at the end.  We usually get them in The Dalles, OR and we need people who are carpooling with others going that way to help us get them to and from the event.  ***THIS IS NOT A FULL SPOT AND WILL BE PAIRED WITH OTHER WORK***  Hay crew members are ideal for this as we can't return the trucks til the end of hay cleanup.
