We are excited to announce the calendar for this coming season is finalized. Please the the calendar page to review this seasons events. 

Please read the information about our calendar below.

A significant amount of planning time went into the calendar for this season to provide our membership with a robust calendar that meets  COVID guidelines. With that said, no matter how much planning was done over the summer and fall, the calendar is still subject to change due to weather, COVID restrictions at the state, county and city levels as well as restrictions from ski areas hosting us, US Ski and Snowboard, Central Division, and CR2. CR2 Board of Directors has done everything in our power to set up a calendar that has enough dates for our athletes to compete and train together throughout the season. If challenges arise or mandates change during our season, we will do our best to pivot and provide opportunities for our members, whenever possible. 

US Ski and Snowboard published and sent guidelines for COVID preparedness to members in September. It is posted on their website here: https://usskiandsnowboard.org/covid-19/return-competition. Please read this and make yourself aware of the guidelines to help all of us move and compete through this time in our country. The CR2 Board will do everything in its power to keep our members as up to date as possible.

These US Ski and Snowboard COVID policies have and will affect many aspects of our season this year:

1.     Please be flexible as things may change often and quickly. All details are subject to changes.

2.     US Ski and Snowboard Scored and Non-Scored racing will not start until January 1. FIS will be allowed to race in December.

3.     U16 athletes will not be allowed to race outside Central Division until February 1.

4.     U14 and younger athletes will not be allowed to race outside Central Division at all. This cancels the Rocky/Central U14 Junior Championship, so Central will be having a special U14 Central Junior Championships in March. U14’s will also have a chance to qualify for a special U14 project scheduled for Bridger Bowl at the end of March. 

5.     Race day numbers will be limited to 100 athletes at a ski area in one day. Once this number has been reached within the registration systems, the race will close automatically. Please sign up only for races you actually plan to attend. DO NOT clog up our system with "just in case you might race", this will cause other athletes to not be able to race.

6.     Because of the limited numbers we have separated our Scored and Non-Scored races onto different weekends and/or venues. For many races, we have separated gender by day, boys one day and girls the other. This is noted clearly on the schedule, please look carefully.

7.     We are working on a plan for when registrations will open for the season. Registrations will be open to anyone and based on a first come, first serve basis. Specifics on this process will be posted soon.

There will be more information posted here so keep checking back!

Thank you for your patience. We look forward to a slightly different but great season together! 

Region 2 is looking to fill some positions.
