News
Cancelled! - Unfortunately we're going to have to cancel the Jan 6/7 races. TD is closed with almost
no snow, and while ASC is open, the available trails aren't interesting enough to make good ski-o. Stay tuned for the Feb races!

Format
Sat: Middle
Sun: Sprint Tournament!
Winning Times
wicked fast
Courses
Sat: Beginner (White) / Advanced (Orange) / Expert Short (Green) / Expert Long (Blue)
Sun: Beginner (White) / Tournament (1.5-3km each round, about 8k for all four)
Sunday is a sprint tournament format, with four rounds of short sprint courses, 1.5 to 3km each. Everyone races
all four rounds, and an overly complicated bracket system figures out who wins! The course difficulty is appropriate
for everyone.
Timing
All races will be timed with SIAir Touchless punching. If you do not have one, a loaner will be provided
as long as you register by Dec 25th. After that you may be given a regular (not-touchless) SI stick if
no touchless ones are available.
Embargoed Areas
None.
Trash Talking
On the attackpoint event page.
Registration
Register by Dec 25th to guarantee a loaner touchless timing chip! After that you may have to use a boring
regular timing chip.
