Real Soon Races

Now that champs are over, skiing is slowly coming to a halt. Before we head into the summer season, however, skiers like to drag on whats left of the winter. One way to do that is by holding some small races.

This weekend there will be a PCST Club Dual Race at Park City Mountain Resort! All levels of athletes will be participating, including U-16s, U-14s, U-12s, and even Devos. The U-16s will be the team captains/coaches for the race. This is a fun way to get together as a ski team and send the winter off on a good note.

The race will be going on for most of the day, so feel free to stop by the resort and come watch! There is always a BBQ at the bottom (courtesy of the parents) so you don't need to pack a lunch.

The next race to look forward to is the Last Chance at Snowbird, which is one of the bigger spring season races. This is a really great race to earn points, since there are usually some college athletes there (which means really good penalties on points) and all age groups from U-14s to U-21s (because it's an open race).

This race will be held the weekend of spring break, and will continue into school the next week. It will start on Saturday, April 11th, and continue until Wednesday the 15th the following week. There will be 2 GS races, 2 SL races, and 3 SG races. I don't know the order of them yet, but SG is likely to be first, followed by GS and then slalom.

You can also come by Snowbird to cheer on the Park City Ski Team athletes. While you're there, also take time to enjoy Snowbird's awesome terrain and snow conditions. They have a huge mountain with a wide selection of different difficulty trails.
