Fun and spectator-friendly relay racing for skiers of all ages and abilities
Fun and spectator-friendly relay racing for skiers of all ages and abilities
AND other events for racers and spectators alike to include a Doggie Dash,
Super-Size Snowball Throw, Crazy Skier Photo Booth and a drawing for a Winter
Park season pass.
Spectator Tips:
This is a great event for spectators. The 1 km course allows you to see the entire race and cheer on your favorites. In addition it's right in town, close to restaurants and other activities if you decide to take a break.
Adjacent to the Grand Park Rec Center you can take a break and check out the wonderful facilities, to include a beautiful pool with slide and lazy river, hot tub and sauna. Each racer will receive a free day pass good on race day and family/friends can purchase a day pass to join them.
You won't have time to be bored at this one!
* Doggie Dash: Bring your own skis and your dog and enter the Doggie Dash. All dogs will be on a leash and no poles are allowed. More details to follow but it should be a blast!
* Super-Size Snowball Throw: Show off your strength and see how far you can hurl a heavy medicine ball. Enter as many times as you wish (1 ticket per toss).
* Crazy Skier Photo Booth: Get your friends or family together and see just how crazy you can look! We'll have lots of fun props (1 ticket/person per photo).

* Team captains: For online registration you will sign up all team members at one time so please have their email addresses, dates of birth, and other information handy. Each team member will then receive an email with a waiver information. For same day registration, all team members need to sign their own waiver. If a team member is under 18, a parent or guardian must sign their form.
* Not sure whether to go recreational or competitive? If your teammates have all raced (even just once or twice) in the last few years, we recommend you go competitive. Recreational category is designed for folks who love to ski but who have never put a number on (or at least not for a VERY long time).
* Parking: Parking will be in the back lot of the Rec Center. Drive past the front door and continue to the large lot on the side of the Rec Center. If this lot fills you will be directed to park in a lot adjacent to the Winter Park Market.
* Registration/Check-in will open at 9 am and racing starts at 10 am. It will be located behind the Rec Center. Follow signs. No access through front door of Rec Center. Same day registration will be available if race categories haven’t filled. Recommend pre-registering online to be safe.
Course Description:
Races will be held on the Grand Park Nordic course right behind Grand Park
Community Rec Center. The course will be a 1 kilometer loop (shorter for kids
and Doggy Dash), allowing for multiple sprint laps and maximum spectator
access. It is relatively flat but we will slip in a couple fun obstacles to
make things more interesting.
Strategy:
Ski hard and fast. Rest. Do it again. Have fun.
