Frequently Asked Questions
​
Can I ski with my child during their race so they know what to do?
Yes, one parent is allowed to ski with their young racer (U8 age group only) through the course. Race time is based on the participant only and this run will count as the participants only run.
​
What is the award ceremony?
After 3pm on each race day in the back of the restaurant in the upper chalet, there will be an award ceremony. Medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will be presented to those in eligible categories and a draw for a gift card will take place. Race results will be posted on a bulletin by the Snow School desk after the award ceremony.
​
Do I have to be present at the award ceremony to receive my medal?
No, if you miss the award ceremony and are entitled to a medal, you can visit the Snow School and they will give you your medal. You must be present at the ceremony to receive a gift card if your name is drawn.
​
What happens if I miss a race and I signed up for the entire series?
Nothing happens. There are no refunds or credits for this and your absence will be considered a missed run. You will not be eligible for that week's $50 gift card draw. You must participate in at least 4 Sunday races to be eligible to participate in the final Saturday race and have a chance to win a $500 gift card.
​
Why do some racers move into a different age category part way through the season?
Once a racer achieves three first place finishes in their category, they will be moved up to the next age category for the rest of the season (racers in the 18-45 and 45+ categories will be moved to Elite). Snowboard racers and categories with less than 4 participants are exempt from this rule.
