Teams can consist of all adults, all kids, or mixed. 18 Year old and up are considered adults. 17 and under are considered kids. Separate awards for Fastest, Fast and Most Improved will be given to adults and kids. Teams will be ranked together for league standings.

Parents are allowed to race out of turn if they need to help their little ones. Parents are allowed to guide young, inexperienced racers through the course. Check with the Ski Challenge Staff for specifics. Younger or inexperienced racers are welcome to start at the bottom of the start ramp. Parents are not required to participate in the race, but are strongly encouraged to attend. Ski Challenge does not have the staffing to assist young racers on the chair lift or during the race.

Younger, less experienced racers are allowed to slowly snow plow through the course during inspection and may also try the ramp during inspection, provided the Race Crew approves it. More experienced racers are asked to follow the Ski Challenge inspection rules.
