Gathering Limits:
Saturday: Our goal was to give as many skiers the opportunity to participate, so for Saturday ONLY ONE coach or parent representative per club is allowed at the venue. We ask that all other parent/caretakers drop off their kids and stay in their car for viewing the event. Each designated club coach and parent representative must check in at the Welcome Center to receive a bib.
Sunday: We have fewer participants on Sunday but to ensure we meet the gathering size limit, we are asking that only one parent/caretaker attend per family.
