Quarry Road Opener – Updated 12/7

December 4, 2017 by Justin Beckwith Leave a Comment

12/7 Update (in italics):

1) We are on!  The course is in good shape but there is a potential to hit mixed in dirt so skiers may want to choose “not their best skis.”  The OC makes the distinction that full-on “rock skis” are not required.

2) Sign-up online deadline is Friday midnight.  Then Day of Race for $10 extra.
 
3) For waxing, no wax greater than LF or low-fluoro is allowed.  No HF and no top coats.  There is no reason for families or teams to blow their budget on this low-key event!

 

The Central Maine Ski Club is happy to announce the Quarry Road Opener is on for this Sunday, December 10th.  Registration is available at https://www.skireg.com/quarry-road-opener.

It’s an exciting time for skiers in New England with venues across the region making snow — the race season is now upon us!  This is also our first Zak Cup Race.  If you wish to be scored for Zak Cup please enter your current NENSA number on the registration page.  There will also be a club dropdown for Club Scoring.

Quarry Road currently has 0.8km loop that looks beautiful.  Check out pictures and stay up to date at CMSC site.

The race will be six laps or 4.8km for adults and 3 laps or 2.4km for BKL and Middle School.  More details are available on the registration page.
There is a fun and unique interval start format — with groups of 24 skiers starting at 15 second intervals, and leave 12 minutes open in the start list for those skiers to clear the course before the next “group” leaves at 15 second intervals.
Prepare your team to run their warmup (course access will have to close except for some brief course inspection breaks between each class.)
Sign up at skireg.com –  https://www.skireg.com/quarry-road-opener
Day of race is available, for a $10 fee.
