RACING
The club has some members that race in public NASTAR races at Perfect North and the couple special races Perfect North holds. A few racers go to Timberline Resort for the West Virginia Governor's Cup race in March. The club no longer has an official race team but if you are interested in racing, contact Tom Berning or Rich Brown.
Our racers are "recreational racers" just having fun, so don't be intimidated by all the speed suits... Races will be mostly GS with an occasional slalom format, depending on the formats selected by the host club or resort.

BENEFITS OF RACING
- COOL CSC red stretch race bib fits over jacket or outside a ski suit (we have a very limited number of bibs). There is a $10 bib fee.
- Mentoring by our experienced racers. We love helping new racers learn this fun sport so just ask any team member for any help or advise you need. Contact either race chairman and let us know when you plan to race and we will be sure someone is looking out for you to show you the ropes, offer tips, maybe even throw some wax on your skis.
- Motivates you to get in shape! The better shape you are in, the less you will crash so that motivates you to show up in good physical shape. Ski racing at a high level requires strong leg muscles, strong balance muscles, and strong core. Arms and shoulders are also important on our short courses to get a good push out of the gate. Regularly stretching the leg muscles helps prevent injury.
- Most of the races are NASTAR races and are submitted to NASTAR,com where you can see your ranking by resort, age group, statewide and nationally. * First time race team members should go to NASTAR.com and signup for an account to get a registration number that you will need to supply us on the race team application. Nastar registration numbers are always the first 3 letters of your last name followed by numbers. Rich Brown's is BRO601, our fastest club racer, Rick Mygrant is MYG1.
You are responsible for lift tickets and race fees charged by the ski area.
