Did you know you can fill open spots on your team roster at any time, even after Week 3? While the goal is to have all 10 roster spots filled before the season begins, we understand that plans change. Sometimes people have to drop out at the last minute, get injured, or are no longer able to race.

If you have a roster spot filled by someone who can’t continue racing, you’re welcome to “sell” that spot to another racer. Just be sure to notify the Ski Challenge office and have the new racer check in at the registration table before racing. This ensures they’re entered into the system correctly and receive their proper points and medal. If you have an open spot, you can fill it at any time. Racers who want to attend Championships must get at least 1 race in by week 5. Your week 5 roster will be your Championship roster.

Ski Challenge budgets and rates are based on full team participation. By filling your roster, you help keep fees down for everyone. When rosters aren’t full, fixed costs are spread among fewer racers, which can lead to higher fees. Thanks for helping keep Ski Challenge running strong!

Championships Weekend is a fun-filled weekend packed with racing! On Saturday, teams race in divisions based on ability. There are additional team and individual races open to everyone, including non–Ski Challenge members, on both Friday and Saturday. Sunday wraps up with a Fun race hosted by the Midwest Masters, featuring two Super-G races.

Saturday night, we celebrate the season with an awards party and great door prizes. More details coming soon.
