Tristate U14 Championships schedule change and other items!!!

Hey everyone,

Just got word that due to the weather, the Sundown GS start has been moved up to 8am and the Southington SL start has been moved up to 8:30am!

Please make sure to adjust your alarm clocks to get to registration on time.

Also, make sure to fill in your racers “Biography” as Olympian Doug Lewis will be making the announcements about each racer at Southington! You can access the “Athletes Biography” under “Registration Conditions” under U14 Championships, Tri-State Alpine Ski Championships on Adminskiracing.com.

Finally be sure to sign up for extra Banquet tickets on Adminskiracing.com. The “keynote speaker” will be 2-time Olympian Doug Lewis!
