Did you miss the registration deadline? Never fear! Head to our online registration page and use the “Join Waitlist” feature for your chosen division. Please note that this process requires you to provide payment information so that, if someone cancels their spot, you will be automatically entered into the competition and your credit card will be charged. There are no refunds on registration fees, so please make sure you are ready, willing, and able to compete before joining the waitlist!

After registration is complete, if you need to make changes to your team, you should make those changes directly in our registration system. You will need to create an account to do so. The deadline for these changes is 12am MST on Wednesday, 2/18.

Any changes made following this deadline will be considered (not guaranteed) and will require an additional $25 change fee.

The competitor meeting will take place at 8:45am on BOTH days of the event in the fair building. All competitors are required to attend.

Laurel Timing (formerly Brooksee) will be providing timing for the event via a chip on a velcro strap to be worn by the skier around the wrist/forearm.

In order to preserve chip battery life, chips will be handed out before a run and collected immediately after the run.

When the division before yours ends, head to the start line; there will be a Laurel tent stationed there and the representative there will be handing out chips based on the run order in your division.

If you have not been able to get your chip in time for your run, let the start gate team know your team needs to be rolled down the list.

Any run made without a timing chip worn will be considered a DNF. It is the skier’s responsibility to make sure they acquire their chip before their run.

In the event that a chip is worn but fails or falls off, we will also be timing via a backup method.

There will be a cooler with heat packs stationed where the skier return track re-enters the start area. Skiers are expected to return their chips there or to the Laurel booth immediately following each run.

Timing technology will be buried where the skier start & skier finish are. Horses MUST stay clear of that marked area. Any horse interference with the timing setup, even unintentional, will be grounds for disqualification.

Run orders will be posted as soon as administratively possible once team confirmations are completed. We intend to make them available both on the website and on social media.

For liability reasons, to ensure the longevity of our event and the safety of everyone on site, horses are not allowed in the event village/spectator area under any circumstances. Please keep your horses to the horse-friendly areas as designated on the event map (warmup area, trailer parking, indoor arena, return track) and the ample space that will be fenced off around the start line.

Course safety: If you notice a sketchy spot or the course is getting deep, let us know! Safety is our #1 concern and we have a dedicated course condition team on site to hear concerns, review conditions, and identify the best possible grooming solution.

There are no refunds unless the event is cancelled.
