General Information:

• Race registration will take place beginning at 7:30am in the main race building at the base of the main slope (you will see the slalom already set for the race). There will be one set of bibs for the race. The Slalom will run in the morning and run in bib order. For the GS race in the afternoon, you will have to re-pass out the bibs among your athletes, so pay attention to afternoon start list.
• Lift tickets must be worn at all times and will be picked up at registration.
• Coaches meeting at 8:00am at timing building (same as registration)
• The Slalom race will begin at 9:30am and is clearly visible from main base lodge. The GS will be held on the East Slope which is the trail to the left of the lift. You can get to the East Slope via triple chair at the end of Slalom course and unload lift at mid-station and ski to your left.
• I decided not to run the SL and GS simultaneously. The mountain believes that the morning race should be done by noon(or earlier). The GS race should be done before 3pm
• Please bring a release form for all of your athletes (see attachment to email)
• Awards will be 30min (3:15 target time) after completion of GS and held at the East Base Lodge. To get to the East Base Lodge you will have to drive out of main parking lot and turn right (a left turn would take you home). It is a very short drive and a nice quiet place to have the awards.
• Some reminders of ISSCA rules and procedures (refer to published rules for complete list):
  Running order within each seed is drawn at random, and reversed within each seed for the second run.
• Helmets are required for GS.
• Lost ski=DNF
• Racers who miss their start will be disqualified.
• Team scoring is top 3 of the 5 racers (combined times of two runs of each race)
• In case of a tie, the total time for the 3 best scoring finishers will be used.
• Training courses for Slalom can be set on the east slope just beyond the Headwall, however if you wish to set a trainer please contact me before so I can arrange an 8am lift ride.
