This weekend, January 14, plan on training stubby slalom at Brighton with Lyndsey, Jason, Eric and Laura! They are working on getting you ready for the Park City YSL on January 21, 2012.
The race will be held on Lower CB's, the World Cup race run. We will use the Eagle Lift to access the race. NO parents are allowed to get off Eagle half-way, leave the kids with the coaches.There will be no free skiing on the race hill. Lifts will start at 8:30 AM.
START ORDER: 10:00 AM J6 girls, followed by J6 boys
11:15 AM J5 girls, J4 girls, followed by J5 boys and then J5 boys
AWARDS: to the TOP 10 in each gender and age category approximately 15 minutes after the last racer in the finish arena. We encourage EVERYONE to stay for awards and cheer on the victors!
ENTRY FEE: $14.00 per racer. Send payment to Becky, as the team must write only one entry check.
LIFT TICKETS: $20 for 12 and under. The ticket windows will open at 8:00 AM, and you will have to have your race bib to get the discount pass.
SKILLS QUEST STATIONS will also be set up in the dogleg area--away from the start, far skier's right side of Lower CB's. This is an idea USSA is experimenting with, all kids are encouraged to ski them with their coaches: Side Slip, One ski straight run, and Pole Jumpers.
Parents are encouraged to bring up tents (must have weights to keep them from flying away, some sort of building code in Park City) and lawn chairs, grills, coolers, etc. Pack a lunch for your athlete, as food services are a WALK to get to! Please be aware that “Burton” will be having their “Burton Experience” in the area from the parking lot up to the Eagle Maize – this will make walking up more entertaining for everyone, but a bit congested as well.
MEET YOUR COACH at the bottom of FIRST TIME lift, ready to ski, at 8:00 AM. Parents, get in line for the lift tickets, and we will get you the race bibs. Do not be late! We will get on the lift as soon as they open and we have everyone, for course inspection.
Coaches will ski with kids in their groups until approximately 3:00, unless you have made other arrangements. It is a great experience to ski at a new resort on different runs. J4's who are racing will join Lyndsey's group and have a fantastic time.
All athletes must fill out a Park City Mountain Release, emailed out by Becky. If she doesn't have it, your athlete cannot race. Use this link, page 2 is the release, if you need to print it out again: http://www.ussa-imd.org/alpine/races11/pc_ysl_ra.pdf
Still have questions? Contact Becky or another team parent who has been around for a few years... Ski racing is FUN! Bring COW BELLS to ring for our athletes, charge your video cameras, and tell Grandma and Grandpa to dust off their Sorrel's to join you in watching your athlete ski fast!
