The Flathead Valley Ski Education Foundation will be hosting three days of junior ski racing at Whitefish Mountain Resort this weekend.
The event, sponsored by Sportsman Ski Haus and the Base Lodge Clinic of North Valley Hospital, is scheduled for Jan. 30 – Feb. 1 and will be for male and female competitors ranging in age from 12 to 21. These races are part of the nationwide USSA Series and will be qualifying races for Regional Championships to be held in March.
There will be two Slalom races starting at 9 a.m. Friday. There will be Giant Slalom races on Ed’s Run starting at 9:30 a.m., Saturday and Sunday.
All race courses are accessed by Chair Two and can be easily viewed from the Upper Base Area near Ed and Mully’s Restaurant.
The Flathead Valley Ski Education Foundation is a nonprofit community-based organization that promotes athletic, academic and personal excellence for Flathead Valley youth through participation on the Whitefish Mountain Race Team.
Volunteers are needed for a number of on-hill as well as administrative duties during the upcoming races. All volunteers will receive a lift ticket if needed for race course access on race days as well as a complementary lift pass that can be used anytime later this season.
For more information or to volunteer, contact Tim Hinderman at 406-885-2730.
