Cat's Hill Volunteer feedback from Garrett Lau

Topic: photography, tear down

What went well: The spectators and other photographers were generally very good about not getting in the way, except at the top of the hill.
How to make job better: There should be a P.A. announcement when the kids' race starts. I missed the first wave because there was no announcement until it ended.


Other comments: 1. Porta-potties: I would recommend getting a separate handwashing station outside instead of having them inside each unit. This way, the queue would move faster and the toilets would not get filled with paper towels.

2. Schedule: Most of the spectators left after the Pro/1/2 race, and most of the vendors tore down their booths by 3:30. I don't know if that's good or bad.

3. Schedule: The masters races all finished unexpectedly early. Maybe we could add a few laps to each of them. On the other hand, it's nice to allow extra time in the afternoon races so that we can stay on schedule even after crashes.

4. The hard fence around the registration area was a good idea. The snow fence at the top of the hill seemed like a good idea, but it quickly got trampled as spectators crossed onto the course for a closer view. Maybe we need a hard fence there.
