Please dress appropriately this week as temps are colder than what we have seen, but are not abnormal for January.

Cochran's Hill Climb Race Information

 

LOCATION: Cochran’s Ski Area. 910 Cochran Rd, Richmond, VT 05477.

TEAMS: BFAS, CVU, EHS, HUHS, MMU, MUHS, SBHS, StJ

2:15-2:45	Bib pick-up in the main building		Bus Leaves BFA @1:15PM FORMAT: Freestyle. Classic is allowed for those brave enough to try, though there will be no tracks. Racers will start one at a time every 10 seconds.
3:00	Varsity girls
3:30	Varsity boys
4:00	JV girls
4:15	JV boys
4:30	Middle School combined

COURSE: The distance is similar to previous years, with the exact route to be determined. Middle school and JV will go a little over halfway up the hill, varsity will go all the way to the top! We will be collecting racer bibs at the bottom of the hill rather than the finish line, so please ensure your skiers don’t walk away with theirs.

SPACE: To ensure we have that space for everyone, athletes should arrive in buses or a carpool. Spectators should plan to come in one car per family. The main building will be open for athletes to use the bathroom. There isn’t much flat terrain for tents or waxing tables at Cochran’s, so prepare accordingly.

SAFETY: We would like to reiterate that this is a hill climb and not a downhill race. To ensure the safety of all spectators, athletes are not allowed to ski down after their race. Those who fail to follow this rule will be disqualified
