Getting Your Team Number:
Skiers will receive bib numbers and chips.
The bib numbers are specific to each team so must be switched out between runs, but the chip stays with the skier all weekend long regardless of different teams.
You must return the chips at the end of the weekend; an unreturned chip will result in a $75 charge to replace it.
Skiers running multiple times are responsible for wearing the number for that team
ONLY when they run.
Assistance will be provided in the pavilion.
Numbers to be handed out by division/order:
Junior
Novice
Women’s
Open
Sport
Snowboard
You will be allowed to walk the course
before YOUR division.

Registration Information
Online registration HAS CLOSED for 2024.
All competitors must attend in-person Friday Night to sign waivers and receive your admission pass to the event.
If you are in search of a skier, rider, or horse to complete a team, there will be an opportunity on Friday at in-person registration to find a teammate.
Registration will close at 10:00pm on Friday, February 23rd. NO SUBSTITUTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED AFTER THIS POINT.
Rules
Please take the time to review the rules in full prior to the competition and reach out with any questions.
Competitors are responsible for having an understanding of what is/is not allowed, horse/skier run limits, timing of protests, etc.
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.
Competitor Information
All competitors (riders and skiers/boarders) MUST ATTEND the morning competitor meeting on BOTH days of the event. The meeting will take place in the Pavilion (indoor arena) near the start line at 8:15am.
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.
Run orders will be posted as soon as administratively possible once registration night closes on Friday night. We intend to make them available both on the website and on social media. There will also be a physical copy posted in the start area the morning of the event.
Timing chips and bib numbers go on the skier and will be distributed at the competitor meeting on Saturday morning 2/24 at 8:15am. Each skier will receive a pinny & bib number for each team they are on; if a skier is on multiple teams, these must be switched out between runs because they are specific to each different team. Each skier will also receive one timing chip to be worn on the wrist all weekend for all runs, even if the skier is on multiple teams.
If you notice a sketchy spot or the course is getting deep, let us know! Safety is our #1 concern.
