Sign Up for Your Member Volunteer Shifts

Remember a requirement of your Eagle Cap Ski Club Membership is you helping with Fergi operations during the season. Every member must volunteer for 4 days during the season. This is how we keep the membership dues affordable.

What is amazing is that we have over 300 members! If every member signed up, Fergi would always have enough individuals each day of operation to run smoothly. We can't open the hill unless we have all the slots filled for the day.

Volunteer Jobs for the 2024-2025 Season

1. Ticket Booth Sales Person (9:45 am - 2:00 pm) - sell day passes and collect annual membership dues in the ticket booth. Hand out daily ski passes to individuals. Keep track of sales for the day. Remind members to sign up for their member volunteer days. One individual is needed for this duty.
2. T-Bar Liftie (10:00 am - 4:00 pm) - help individuals and families load on the T-bar. Listen and respond to pertinent radio communication regarding T-bar operations. Communicate to the hill manager if any maintenance needs to occur (e.g. broken Ts, Ts not rebounding, etc.). Assist the hill manager in the morning in making sure bathrooms have toilet paper (restock as necessary), getting fires going in the lodge and voodoo, shoveling snow off decks, and taking out the trash from buildings. Six individuals are needed for this duty each day. This allows this group of volunteers to work together and rotate throughout the day so no one pulls Ts for more than one hour.
3. Voodoo Watcher (2 shifts; 10:00 am - 1:00 pm and 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm) - ensure the safety of individuals and families exiting the T-bar. This entails watching individuals and families exiting the T-bar and stopping the T as needed. Keep a watchful eye on Ts properly retracting. Communicate with the T-bar liftie regarding stops and starts and to the hill manager if any maintenance needs to occur (e.g. broken Ts, Ts not rebounding, etc.). Listen and respond to pertinent radio communication regarding T-bar operations. One individual is needed per shift.

A total of nine member volunteers are needed each day to open Fergi.

All volunteers report to the hill manager at the beginning of their shift near the T-bar. The hill manager will provide a quick training for everyone and get you set up with radios and other equipment to do your duty for the day.

Something Came Up? Can't Honor Your Member Volunteer Days?

Go back to the sign-up form, log in, and remove your name from the duty. Please provide a minimum 72 hours notice to remove your name off the sign-up form. If under 72 hours, you are responsible for finding a replacement, updating the sign-up form, and letting the hill manager know the changes.

Early Season Closures

If you sign up for days and it is iffy if Fergi will even open and Fergi ends up closing due to conditions, you will need to go back and sign up for new days. Your member volunteer days only count if Fergi is open and you completed your commitment that day.

Schedule Your Season Rental Appointment

UPDATE AS OF 11/22/2024: All season rental appointments are full. You will still be able to get season rentals once the hill opens for operations. It just means there are no longer pre-season appointments for season rentals.

Season rental appointment dates available:

• Friday, November 22
• Sunday, November 24
• Saturday, November 30
• Sunday, December 1
• Saturday, December 7
• Sunday, December 8
• Saturday, December 14
• Sunday, December 15

The time available on each date is from 10 am to 4 pm. Half-hour time slots for 2 people per half hour. Text Adrianne to sign up for a 1/2 hour slot (530-318-4710). Appointments at the SKI SHOP at Fergi.

CREDIT CARDS are NOT ACCEPTED. Cash or check only. All cash purchases will receive a 10% discount. Visit our rental page to see this season's prices.

Please contact the ski shop for any questions (text or phone call is preferred). 

Remember this is a family operation with a very small staff. They are processing requests in the order they are received and are waiting for individuals and families to respond back. Please be timely in responding back to the ski shop so they can fill the next available slots for the individual/family next in line. They will respond to requests during reasonable business hours.

Fall Work Day Volunteers Get Fergi Ready for Another Season

Thanks to everyone who has come out and helped get Fergi ready for the 2024-2025 season. Lots have been happening up on the hill - fixing up buildings, clearing brush, fixing the rope tow, firewood, and cleaning buildings.

Join us on December 14 for the Annual Ski Swap at the Athletic Center

On Saturday, December 14 from 10 AM - 1 PM at the Athletic Center (511 West Park St in Enterprise -behind Safeway) the Annual Ski Swap will happen. Drop off gear from 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM. Admission is Free. 50% of the sales benefit Fergi, the rest is yours. Questions? Contact Anette Christoffersen.

Volunteers are needed to help with the Ski Swap. If you are available, please come to the Athletic Center at 8:30 am to help out. Jobs entail unloading gear, helping with sales, and directing traffic.

Annual Member Meeting November 10, 2024

The annual member meeting will occur on November 10. After the fall work day from 10 AM - 3 PM (we will end early this day), we will meet in the Fergi Lodge to gather and learn more about the Fergi Season.

Just so you know, everyone is welcome to attend. This is a chance to meet other Eagle Cap Ski Club members or learn what it takes to become a member. The meeting begins with a board meeting and then the general meeting.

We especially need member input around volunteer work time and special projects, like redeemable recycling items. Please come and provide input. This is a community hill, and it takes a village to keep it operational. They are especially looking to train individuals who would like to learn how to operate the heavy machinery at the ski hill. Another concern is looking for new individuals to step into leadership roles, as our current leadership wants to keep the tradition alive as they begin to age.

This meeting has traditionally been a potluck but with mostly beers and chips as the main feature. Can't wait to see everyone!

Fall Work Days Have Begun

Every Sunday starting October 6 from 10 AM—4 PM, fall work days will happen, no matter the weather. All hands are needed to help get Fergi operational for the upcoming winter season. Remember, Fergi is an all-volunteer-run ski hill. Without volunteers, we would not even have a ski hill. Your spirit shapes the ski runs, builds the lodges, and so much more!

For this season, we need the following duties tackled:

• Thinning
• Piling and burning brush
• Cutting reprod trees (e.g. little trees) on runs - ONE OF THE BIGGEST PRIORITIES! This is an easy task even for kids. All you have to do is use clippers and cut the stem at the very base of the ground.
• Cutting and stacking firewood for the lodge, voodoo, and ski shack
• Cleaning the inside and outside of the lodge as well as the windows cleaned 
• Cleaning the inside and outside of the voodoo as well as the windows cleaned
• Cleaning the inside of the ticket sales booth (lots of dead flies)
• Bathrooms cleaned
• Trash picked up around the ski hill
• Ski runs cleared and opened up 

Please check in when you arrive with a hill manager for a specific task for the day. You are responsible for coming prepared for the day (e.g. appropriate clothes, food, water, work gloves, and your own equipment if you have it).

Contact Willy Locke at 541-426-6581 if you have any questions and coordinate cleaning supplies if you plan on cleaning the lodge or voodoo.
