BUCK HILLS SUNDAY AM UPDATES

Our race time is going to be 15 minutes earlier

  • Lifts start at 9 am
  • Course Inspection 9:15 – 9:45 am
  • Race: 9:45 am

Boot up, check-in, and get ready in The Hutch. Doors will be open at 8 am. You can leave your bags in the Hutch during the race (it will be reserved for us).

After the race is done, Head up to the Event Center, and grab a table for awards. The Event Center/Restaurant will have counter/bar service in the room where you can order beverages and food off the full menu. As a “goodwill” gesture, Buck Hill will provide the $5 off coupons to our group once again to be used on Sunday. We will not be reserving team tables.

A few things we just need to do to make this work.
  • Ski challenge team members shouldn’t be in the event center getting ready prior to the race. (Please don’t try and “reserve” tables for after the race before the race starts – get ready in the Hutch)
  • No outside food or beverage in the Hutch or event center
  • Please try to keep the Hutch in the same condition as it was found.

LOOKING FOR NEW GEAR?

Having the right gear, great-fitting boots, and having your skis and bindings set correctly make all the difference in the world!  It could even mean a faster race time with a lower handicap.  If you’re feeling like you need a tune-up or just want to start over with your equipment, all of our sponsor shops offer Ski Challenge members great service, knowledge, products, and even a discount!  Our sponsors contribute greatly to The Ski Challenge program helping to keep fees down.  Please thank them by spending your $$ at their shops!
