Boardercross/Skiercross (2nd of 3)
Date of Event: 02/10/2008 to 02/10/2008

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 5-5:45pm, $10 entry fee; YOU MUST BE REGISTERED AND READY TO PREVIEW COURSE AT 6PM; 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.

From what I was told, the course area will be closed to the public after 6PM. Keep this in mind if you're skiing there tonight and not participating.

Hopefully they built a better course this time............

They definitely did some reworking, but from what I could see it was the same general layout. I haven't skied it at all though so I can't say whether they made it any better or not...
