Sunday Races
The GTSC is offering 5 club races this season. To participate, a skier must be registered for one of the following: Learn to Ski Clinics, Young Beginner Clinics, Instructional Ski Clinics, Advanced Racing Clinics, or the Middle School Program. The cost remains at $30 for the series if you have a GTSC race bib, and $40 for the series if you need a new GTSC race bib.
A few musts:
- All children must be able to use a tow rope and ski unattended to participate.
- All children must bring and wear a ski helmet and bring their own or rental skis and boots.
- Parents or guardians must volunteer at three or more Sunday Races in order for their skier(s) to participate.
- All racers must wear their assigned GTSC issued, numbered race bib for each race. In the event a racer wishes to race but has forgotten their race bib, a disposable race bib may be purchased for that race at a cost of $5.00. Racers without GTSC approved race bibs indicating their assigned number will not be permitted to race.
If you believe your child may have an interest in participating in even one race, whether early on or a later date, it is highly recommended that race registration for the season occur before the first race (deadline: Wednesday, Jan 4, 2011, 5pm). Race registration and/or payment for race participation for the season is due by 5pm the Friday before the child’s first race. No exceptions.
Sunday race course inspection (when children have an opportunity to slide slowly through the course to become familiar with gate location) is at 12:30 p.m. Races start promptly at 1:00 p.m. and end approx. at 3:30 p.m. Racers run two runs each on both slalom and giant slalom courses.
Racers have an opportunity to qualify for regional ski invitationals against other ski clubs. Sunday Race participants who participate in at least 3 races are invited to an end of season Awards Day with trophies, ribbons and festivities.
Race dates: January 8, 15, 22, and February 5, 26.
We look forward to a great season of fun ski racing!
