12/16 Sprint Race Information

 

RACE PLAN (as conditions allow)

COURSE: 1.3 km +/- 

FORMAT: + Wave start (6 skiers at 1 minute intervals).  

+ Hoping to get each race done in 15 min (all released from start in 10 min). That would limit our participants to 60 HS boys, 60 HS girls, 60 MS. With more terrain may release more often and make more room in the races.

+ Hoping to reseed and send everyone that wants a second go!
