Race Week is aimed at members who want to try recreational racing. The program is open to advanced riders of all disciplines. Working closely with coaches and guides, your skills will be honed while you are introduced to race training.

Days on snow are Tuesday-Thursday.

 

Eligibility

To participate in Race Week you must be able to independently transfer from off snow to on snow and train and race on intermediate and advanced terrain without a guide (vision impaired excepted). During training you will be assessed for selection to enter each race.
