BHFRI ~ Buck Hill Friday ~ All Ages
The Buck Hill Friday night league is an all age league for ages 4 and up. Course Inspection
is at 7 pm with the race starting at 7:30 pm. The race usually takes
an hour to an hour and a half. Awards take place about 15 minutes
after the race in Buckstone Lodge. This league consists of a maximum
of 14 teams. Teams must have at least 6 racers with 10 as the maximum.
As an all age league, teams can consist of just
adults, just kids or mixed kids and adults. A participant under 18
years of age needs a parent or guardian present to sign a liability
release form. Special care will be taken if a "younger/smaller" child
is racing. We will allow that child to race without an adult racing
next to him or her on the other course. All teams on this night will
be ranked together for team scoring. For Fastest, Fast, and Most
Improved awards, kids up to 17 will be kept separate from adults.
For Championships, mixed teams of adults and kids will be ranked in
Division 1 through 8. Kid only teams will participate in the
"Kids' Race" at the Championships.
This league is designed for all
abilities of racers whether the participant is a veteran racer or
wants to try it for the first time. If a child (or parent) is not
ready to start on the ramp, they are allowed to start below. The Ski
Challenge will have a staff members at the top of the ramp helping
the kids get situated.
Guest racers are invited to try it out
before signing up. If you or your child decides to sign up, the guest fee
goes toward the league fee. The guest fee is $10. You may
only guest race in only one race per league.
Snowboarders are welcome to
participate. They will get a 10-point handicap adjustment and will
have to race the entire seven week season on their snowboard.
Kids will need a parent or guardian to
sign liability release forms and we encourage parents to stay during
the entire race, as The Ski Challenge is not responsible for getting
the kids to the race or awards on time.
