Race Parent Info

To access all racing information, Race Fact Sheets, Race Schedules, etc., on the web go to:
USSA - Rocky Mountain Division

Entries for racing attendence usually are due 3-4 days prior to the race, so best to  be mailed a week before, with a copy of your USSA card, on an USSA Entry Form and a check for the entry. Racers have to purchase a lift ticket.  Information will be on Fact Sheet (some of which might have to be included at time of entry). If you have a 5th Grade Pass or Graduate Pass, you can purchase your lift ticket the day of the race. Parent tickets for a discounted price are usually available at Race Headquarters.

Most Race Fact Sheets have some hotel information on them for the area.

At the Races

Even though the race usually does not start until 10:00 a.m., your racer needs to meet with the coaches usually around 7:30-8:00 a.m. at a designated location so that the team can get organized, racers can get their bib numbers, and everyone can be ready for the first lift for course inspection. (Coaches will let you know where and when at prior practice or you can always call  Danielle at
970-209-2865 .

Make sure your racer has everything he or she needs: warm clothes, water, lunch or money. A designated place to meet you or the team/coaches after race or at a time is helpful.

After the first race of the day, you need to get your racers some lunch or snack because they are expected to meet the Coaches on top of the race course for the 2nd run inspection, usually around noon. At larger races, this may all run together so it is good to have a plan.

On cold days, it is helpful that you are at the top of the course to take your racers' warm clothing to the bottom of the coarse since they are just in their speed suits. Make sure your racers' name is on their clothes since they all end up in a big pile. Other parents can help out, but racers are usually spread out and too many things to carry makes things difficult.
