The first time in California: Carving Cup Racing
Sierra League and Northstar are introducing Carving Cup as a new and fun racing format on March 14.
$10 race fee covers a practice run and two race runs. Free for Sierra League race pass holders.
The race is open to the general public. Registration in the Village until 9am and on the hill until 10am. Those, who register on the hill start will be at the end of the list.
The course is set with buoys instead of gates with 3 buoys in every turn.
In each turn you decide which buoy to ski around.
Blue is usually is an inside one. Red is outside, which makes you ski
wider. Yellow is in between. Making a turn around further buoy gives more points.
The winner has the smallest ratio of time divided by total points.
If you ski wider, it takes longer, but gives more points.
The best of the two runs counts.
Skiers and snowboarders are welcome and race in the same classes.
Kids under 17 are welcome if they drag their parents to race too.
The course should be easy for all levels and there is no excuse not
to race if your child wants to.
Bring your slalom or just carving skis or carving/slalom snowboard.
No poles allowed.
No speed suits - regular skiing/riding clothes.
No slalom protective gear needed.
Helmets are required as in all events these days.
It should be fun!!!
