We continue to explore alternative dates based on hill availability and the overall race schedule and will provide an update as soon as one is finalized.
MSA Speed Training - Monday, January 30th to Wednesday, February 1st (U14 and Up)
Registration is still open. This is a key opportunity for athletes who wish to race in the Super G discipline. Find details here

Deadline for registration is 6pm on Friday, Jan 20

Slingshot Race - Sunday, February 5th for U10 / U12 Athletes (Still planned to proceed)
A highlight for young athletes and a great opportunity for parents to gain experience supporting the running of a race in a low pressure environment.
Please contact Craig Bradley at kaymatrentals@gmail.com if you are able to support any of these roles.
Key Volunteer Roles Remaining:
-
Course Crew - If you are a proficient skier, training can be provided on the day. You will be required to help “side-slip” the course and other basic maintenance to ensure the course is in good condition throughout the race.
-
Gate Judge - Enjoy one of the best views of the race as you stand along the side of the course and ensure athletes successfully pass through the gates. Training can be provided on the day of the event if you do not have previous experience.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions about how you can get involved.
