Wild Wednesday Race On Competition


1995 Scott and Jim

Celebrating 30 Years! – 1995

Due to the poor weather the last few days, we will be having our last Wednesday night Pre-season Race at Wild on “Competition”.  Wild needs to blow snow on “Wild”.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.  Last year we had to cancel due to the cold, this year we have to make changes due to the warmth!  Let’s hope for a happy medium in January!

Pre-season Starts This WEEK!


Ski Challenge Pre-season Leagues start this week!  Tuesday at Buck, Wednesday at Wild and Friday at Buck!

To speed up check in, fill out a waiver ahead of time!  You only need one waiver signed per season.  If you are a minor, you will need a parent or guardian fill out an online waiver for you.  Go here to see if we have one on file, or to get a link to fill one out.  WAIVERS
