One of the first things you'll learn about USSA races is that the schedule is subject to change. The course crew does their absolute best to keep to the schedule, but with midwest winter weather, there are lots of things (snow, ice, warmth, rain) that can affect the schedule. The best thing you can do is to show up on time with a good attitude ready to ski race!
Here is an ideal race day schedule:
7:00am Athletes arrive, volunteer sign-in at the race office
7:30am Coach supervised on hill warm-up and gate training
8:15am Racer's meeting
8:30am Course Inspection
9:15am Run 1 start
11:30am Course set
12:00pm Course inspection
12:45pm Run 2 start
2:45-4pm Load the car and head home/lodging
In a change from prior years, USSA Region I is now asking athletes to register for individual races a few days in advance of that race. This is the standard practice across the nation, to which our Region now conforms. With this transition, annual Region I dues were reduced, but each race now comes with a fee of $10 to $20.
To register, you can go directly to the www.ussa.org and log into your account.
For more information, you can begin with the Region I site, (www.skifast.org). Once there, click on "Registration" for general information. Then click onto this link for specific information.
Races will generally be posted and open for registration a week or two before the race itself.
If you have any further questions on USSA registration, please don't hesitate to ask your athlete's coaches.
