There are race categories for skiers and snow boarders of all ability levels. Beginning racers can start by navigating an easy course of 10 or more gates. At the other end of the spectrum, there are hot racers and boarders with low race handicaps who display "olympic techniques" for the rest of us to envy. We race together as a team, against other clubs who are members of the Far West Ski Association. Our "home" league, Singles League, consists of 5 teams from the Bay Area.

Our team is open to single and married Inskier members, age 21 and over. Individuals of all ability levels may participate by earning points for the team in their own race category.

It is really easy to sign up for racing! Go to http://slracing.org, Print your form and bring it to Lisa Burgess, Inskiers Race Co-Director, at a meeting or mail it to the Inskiers P.O box (see the Contact section of this web-site) along with your check. It's going to be a great season and we hope to have lots of racers this year.
