Registration will be available in the morning at the bottom of the mountain by the dual slalom course tubing park from 7:15-9:00. This is preferred to make registration go as smoothly as possible and make sure every one gets registered for the events they want to participate in. PLEASE REGISTER THEN!! Registration will also be available before events: DH at the top of the mountain and DS by the rocks at the finish.

Racers wanting to participate in the A class MUST have a collegiate license.
