Forest Service seeks volunteers for 2012 Ski with a Ranger program

Ski and snowboard volunteers are sought by the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management to lead guided interpretive tours at Heavenly Mountain Resort one day a week from January through April 2012.
The interpretive tours are intended to educate resort visitors about the natural and cultural history of the Lake Tahoe Basin, highlighting topics such as water quality, watershed restoration, habitat improvement, fire and fuels management and responsible recreation.

This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals who have a strong desire to work outdoors with the public, according to a Forest Service news release.

The ideal volunteer should be an intermediate skier or snowboarder with good communication skills, an outgoing personality and the ability to commit to a minimum of four hours per week from January 13 through April 13, 2012. The Forest Service will provide training and a day pass for each tour.

Prospective volunteers should submit their resume electronically to Tom Fuller by email at tlfuller@fs.fed.us, by Sunday, December 18, 2012. Interviews will take place beginning the week of December 19, 2012. For more information, contact Tom Fuller at (530) 543-2678.
