Monday Night Racing
2024-2025 Season Information

New Racers Are Always Welcome - Both Skiers & Boarders

If you can make it down the hill, you can race! The DSC gets points for every person who participates. Open to all members (18+) on skis or a board. It’s not just racing. Club members tend to stick around afterwards for pizza (provided by the DSC) and beverages (not provided).

It's almost that time again! This may be redundant for experienced racers, but we are sharing all the below information to make sure everyone is ready for the coming season - both experienced and new racers. Some things have changed as far as registration goes including a new registration system. Below you will find all the information you need. You can always check the CSC Racing Page.

The DSC has been 4th in CT for the last few seasons. We are a very fast race time, but we need more racers on the hill to move up to 3rd place! The DSC needs your help!

Kick Off the Race Season with a Pizza Party!
Monday December 9th 2024

Optional - but a fun way to get the stoke going!

Monday night racing is celebrating 52 years of competition. Southington will be open, and it should be very similar to last year. We plan to have a pizza party on Monday December 9th at 6:30 PM. The mountain will provide the pizzas. If people bring their laptop computer, registration on-line can be done that night for the first race on 12/23. The pizza night is a way to meet other racers, see the layout at Mount Southington, meet Rob Dexter, make sure you've entered registration info correctly, and just have a fun social night with other CSC clubs.

Mount Southington Information

Race Registration: 5:30pm - 7:15pm
Races Begin: 7:30pm

Monday night racers are members of one of the Connecticut Ski Council Clubs. The format is giant slalom with the best of two runs. Steps to register and purchase race tickets:

1. Create a new account HERE, if you have not already done so since August 1, 2023. This is a one time step!
2. Register for a night race each week HERE. You have until 2pm the day of the race, to register. 

If you have not purchased a reloadable media card (RFID card) since August 1, 2023 please purchase one the first time you buy a race ticket. Upon arrival the first night, pick up your RFID card at the ticket window or, stop in before hand to avoid the lines the first night. Once you have your card, you simply reload it for each race and proceed to the lifts when you get here. If you have a season pass you must purchase a race ticket for season pass holders in order to partake in the race. 

IMPORTANT: Everyone MUST have their card with them to get on a lift. Cards will be scanned while in the lift lines, every time. If you lose your card or forget it at home, head over to guest services to get a new one issued; there is a $5 charge to do this. All of your information will be transferred to the new card and your old card will be deactivated. 

Remember - You must purchase your ticket by 2pm on the day of each race.
Remember - You must bring your racing bib every week.

Please review all of the information above and if you have any additional questions or concerns, please reach out to the race directors Audrey or DK.

The following information is needed for all racers.

Monday night racing is celebrating 52 years of competition. Southington will be open, and it should be very similar to last year. We plan to have a pizza party on Monday December 9. Event starts at 6:30 PM and pizza at 7:30 PM. Mount Southington will foot the bill for pizza. We will continue to use the Mount Southington database for ski ticket and race fees = it will go thru Mount Southington’s web page. An RFID card will be issued. That card must be displayed or shown EVERY TIME prior to riding the lift. The deadline to sign up for racing is noon on the day of the race, similar to last year. Now everybody that purchased a ticket for racing will be in that nights database, so less errors.

Any new racers please note: to get a bib, you must be entered into the CSC database and get a (CSC) perm #. This number will stay with you for all your CSC racing history.  The CSC perm # info is: 
Skier or boarder, Name (first & last), address, birthdate, male or female, ski club, email address, tel #, NASTAR #, (this is not a required field, but you may add it).

On pizza night there will be 3 lines: 1) red course, 2) blue course and 3) for entry into the CSC computer for new racers (have not raced CSC before) refer to the blue/red course requirements below.

You will need your CSC perm# prior to signing up on the web page. Look at last year’s results to see it, or if you are a new racer, contact me at skicouncil@gmail.com to have one issued. Your perm# stays with you forever. Also your bib number should be entered into the database [issued each year]. Southington said they will delete all last years bib numbers in the database from 2023-24 years racing, (I hope this happens)

NOTE the information on Mt Southington racing/ticket does NOT carry over to the CSC database, but it will set up the race for each Monday night. Other than pizza night -requests for the CSC perm # should be directed to skicouncil@gmail.com Once the race season has started- all racers should enter into the Mount Southington racing database: 1) CSC perm#, 2) the season assigned Bib #, there are dedicated fields for this information. Pricing is indicated on the Mt Southington racing web page.- make sure you select MONDAY NIGHT CSC racing. [there is a Tuesday night racing- do NOT confuse them]

Typically we will have 2 runs on the main courses, but they will NOT count as NASTAR runs. If you want to qualify for NASTAR you may run on the NASTAR course {skiers right} and there will be no extra charge. Unfortunately there will be NO NASTAR Nationals this year, Outside Magazine (NASTAR owners) announced it will not be held.

If you have registered for a race, come to Southington to get your bib for the first time you race, or possibly get it on pizza night on Monday December 9. If you do not make the pizza night make sure you come early to your first night of racing to get your bib, on the first night there is typically a backup.

Age is based on you age on December 31, 2024 (for the ski year 2024-2025)

RED Course (old) Men born in 1957 (turn 67 in 2024) and older, and all women, and all snowboarders will have Bibs 1-199 (Red Course - skier's right on hill)

BLUE Course (young) Men born 1958 and younger (turn 66 in 2024) will have Bibs 200-399 (Blue course - skier's left on hill)

Any woman racer older than 69 or men older than 73 may run first on their course (the oldest 2 age classes) Last year there were 10 men and 9 women.
