What is The Ski Challenge?

The Ski Challenge began in 1985 as a Twin Cities recreational ski program allowing adults to ski on teams in ski leagues similar to softball or bowling. Approximately 35 members skied in the first year of the program, today more than 1,700 skiers participate. The Ski Challenge has evolved into the finest adult ski racing experience in the Twin Cities. Its impressive growth rate is testimony to its excitement and quality.

Members ski through dual, timed modified giant slalom race courses during each event to earn their handicap, medal and team points. A standardized handicap system (by age and gender) is used to determine the handicap and medal. The teams meet for socializing, awards and door prizes after each event. No racing experience is necessary to participate in and enjoy the Ski Challenge.

The Ski Challenge leagues are fun for the beginner yet challenging for those seeking serious competition. The emphasis is on enjoying the sport and the camaraderie of fellow skiers. Most members join to have a reason to ski more, to meet with friends, and enjoy a healthy winter activity.
