NEW info on the website about our VIP package.  PRE-riding will be available on Saturdays, prior to each race, with the “course of the day” to be marked the weekend before each race. Reminder, NO pre-riding on race days. Warm up at Snow Valley’s parking lot at the east end before the race (or follow signage if posted) Don’t forget….each race is an individual event for awards.
