Brighton racers attending the SNOWBIRD SOUTH SERIES! Important Update!

Saturday: arrive at 7:45 AM and meet coach Drew at Creekside. Han Kim and Chad Stapley will be assisting Drew on Saturday (Chris Henderson was called out of town unexpectedly) Be sure to ask them any questions you have, and be sure to THANK THEM for helping out and stepping in.

Ticket window: will open at 8:00, parents get in line early!

Lifts: will start at 9:00 AM (the FIS snowbird team will be having high speed early morning training going on. Watch out for fast skiers. You will not be allowed to load the lift until 9:00 due to their training course)

Inspection: 9:15 - 10:15 am

Girls start 10:30 am

Boys start 11:30 am (tentative)

Awards: 1:30 pm

Kombi: They will run this on Dick Bass down Wilbere race course. The recommended route will be get off at Mid Gad, ski across race run with assist of hosts, take Wilbere chair to the start. The Kombi will be 150 meters, so a minimum of 30 gates, they are anticipating a course of about 40 gates give or take a few. Approximately 15-20 slalom stubby gates, then panel GS gates. Slalom skis are recommended, no mouth guards necessary since the stubby gates will be used, and pole guards are discouraged due to the use of panel gates, for safety. There are 4 "rollers" or bumps in the top section, and then 4 "rollers" or bumps in the lower section. You will HAVE to turn early if the gates take you over the rollers, or you will be late to the next gate, so pay attention during inspection. This is a one run race. Saturday and Sunday are both two run races, so they will be longer days.

THERE IS NO SKIING ON BIG EMMA. The patrol will pull your pass if you carve a turn. SKID your turns if you happen to find yourself on Big Emma. Sideslip if you are worried. If you look like a racer, consider your pass gone.

No bags should be left in Creekside.

We will have a RED BRIGHTON GATE PANEL as our "flag" for the weekend. Look for it... if you don't see it, ask, you may have to help put it up :)
