Sunlight Mountain in Glenwood Springs is having a Mountain Cross race on snow March 25th. I was just up there today discussing the course layout and how things will be run.
There will be two classes for sure Amatuer and Pro. Depending on turnout we might have a 18 and under Jr. class and separate womens classes.
For now we only plan on doing two riders at a time, instead of the normal four. The part of the hill we are building the course on is fairly steep and is going to provide some great racing. Knowing snow is easy to work with I am going to take advantage of this to try and build a fast and fun course. I already have laid out multiple berms, rollers, doubles, and tabletops. I might work a step up into the course somewhere. I have picked a fairly steep area incase of soft snow conditions so riders will not get too bogged down.
Practice will begin at 9:00am March 25 and the racing will start at 11:00am. We will run qualifiers then set everyone into heats. We have some prizes lined up already and are working on more.
Registration is only going to be $5 for amatuer and $10 for pro with half of the pro entry going towards a prize purse. I will let you know more about the other prizes as I get the information.
This race is going to be part of a whole day of events at Sunlight, there will be a mogul comp, a big air comp, and live bands. It will be a great day on the hill.
