CSC Update on Racing 9/23/2021
(Waiting on 2022-2023 information)
- Monday Night Racing will begin 12/20 at Mt Southington, with Covid protocols in place.
- As in past years, 10 consecutive Mondays will be scheduled in order to get 8 weeks of results (2 weather related cancellations are possible
Yes, we will have a Monday night race league this year. Mount Southington will be open. And it probably will be similar to last year. We are not exactly sure what this new look will be – but the current outline follows: We will again use AdminSports for racer registration and lift tickets. NO exception, registration through them.
STEP 1: The yearly registration season waivers will be through AdminSports. The yearly waiver will be required BEFORE you register for any individual races. We will not do the pizza nights – people who registered early but did not race made it difficult for me to keep track of racers vs non-racers, so everything will be on-line.
STEP 2: Lift ticket/race sign-up – done every week on-line– will be from Friday up to midnight on Sunday before the weekly race. This is required for racer registration each week prior to the race. No racer will be allowed to show up the day of a race and race without the weekly pre-registration.
- If you have registered for a race, come down to Southington and get your bib the first time you race.
- Men born in 1957 and prior, all women, and all snowboarders will have Bibs 1-199.
- Men born 1958 and after (under 64) will have Bibs 200-399.
- Bibs will be handed out on a first come, first served basis – but since we have the lottery for bib race order each night, there is no advantage to getting there early.
BIBS: We will do as we did last year, and hand out CSC bibs for the year. Racers will be responsible to bring their bib each week. Each week will be the same sequence bib order, but the first racer number will vary. Racers MUST turn in their bibs at the end of the season on the last race night, or they or their club will be penalized.
TICKETS: On-line ticket sales will eliminate money/credit card interaction. Ticket/racing prices are: $32 per ticket/race, or $20 for race with a season pass (this DOES NOT include the fee for AdminSports). Tickets will be handed out by Mount Southington on this side of the gate (under an outside canopy?) – so there should be no issues entering the area with skis. To purchase a lift ticket prior to the race day, an on-line waiver will need to be electronically signed. This waiver (attestation form) will require racers to say they have complied with CT Covid-19 guidelines. The CSC will be VERY strict with conforming to the Covid guidelines – we want to keep everybody safe!
LODGE: The plan is to have the lodge open to racers to put their boots on; however (current plan), no bags will be allowed in the building. The mountain will follow CT Covid guidelines, so the mandate will depend on what the mandates are at that time.
OTHER RACES:
There will be no State Slalom, nor Giant Slalom, nor Cross Country races.
Also, the CT Senior Winter Games (typically at Ski Sundown) have been cancelled for this year.
The OnSnow Carnival (no location determined yet) might be reduced to a one-day event. We will update as soon as we have the proper information.
Please stay safe out there….
