The Goal |
This race
series will provide a low-cost racing opportunity for both
experienced and new racers.
Additionally, it will give kids a chance to meet
others with the same interests.
The emphasis is on introducing the fun of ski racing
to our youth.

|
The Concept |
Racers
will meet at 5 PM on Friday, January 7, for the first
session. The
race committee will organize teams of equal ability based
upon recent handicaps (if available).
Teams will include racers from all age groups.
During this first session participants will register,
receive instruction, get to practice in a race course, and
take two, timed NASTAR runs.
Subsequent sessions are from 5:30-7:00 PM January 14,
21, and 28, all Fridays.
|
|
Each
racer and coach will take two NASTAR runs on these days.
Team results will be an average of each participant’s
best run. Racers
missing a day will have their original seeding handicap
included in their team’s daily results, without penalty.
IT IS OK TO MISS A DAY!!
Don’t miss out on the fun just because you can’t make every
session.
