Greg and I were discussing this the other night but I couldn't remember the details. Per skisundown.com here they are:
Boardercross/Skiercross (First of 3)
Date of Event: 01/27/2008 to 01/27/2008
Start Time: 7:00 PM
End Time: 9:00 PM

Who's got skills? We want the king (or queen) of speed exposed! This night time series (additional comp dates are Feb. 10 & Mar. 3) will be one of a kind in this area and pit skiers against skiers, boarders against boarders. Age categories in each discipline are: Male Under 13; Male 14-21; Male 22 & Older; Female-Open. Those are the categories. Who's the winner? Course set up on Upper Nor'easter to Stinger built by an X-Boardercross racer from the SWATCH series and will feature unique characteristics and obstacles new to this area! This will be an elimination format where the first 2 racers to cross the finish line advance to the next round. The Stinger trail will be closed for the event. Temptor and N'oreaster will be accessible via Canyon Run at the Sundeck. Ski Market wants to hook the winners up with gear. Thule Racks wants to handle their transportation needs and Sobe wants to keep everyone stoked! 3 great sponsors, 3 great events!

Registration at the Welcome Center desk from 5-6pm; Course preview from 6-7pm; Competition from 7-9pm, with awards to follow. Helmets required. Release form required and must be signed by parent/legal guardian if under age 18.

I didn't say I was planning on participating, just told Greg I would get him the information (then forgot, but remembered that it would be on the website anyway :oops: ). Definitely sounds like it would be fun to watch though.

I've never done a skiercross race but I'd be up for trying it. It will depend on my schedule that weekend. Count me in as a maybe.

I didn't ski the course, but I saw it from the lift. It looks interesting for sure. Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to make it to the race tomorrow...
