Recreational Racing

Need someone to ski with? We'll give you 9 companions for the season! Just signClick to enlarge photo of the "Drooling Moose" team up for a 10-person team. Any intermediate skier or boarder qualifies. Beginner racers are as much needed (and can contribute as much) as advanced racers. Everyone races within their own category, of which there are 7, from beginner to elite. Watch your results improve over time. It's the best deal in town. The most fun for your money!

Five races per season, each race followed by a party, with free food, drinks, and door prizes. At the end of the season, there is an awards dinner party (named the "Rat Attack").  All this for just $85 for the whole season.  On top of that, each racer gets a discounted lift ticket on race days.

Even if you never dreamed of being a racer, give it a try. It's well worth it. It will enhance your social life, and improve your carving skills! Teams are usually formed by mid-November, so apply early!
