USAC Regional Championship Series
USAC Vermont State Championship Race
June 26-27 at Mount Snow, VT.
After one race at each venue the series returns to Mount Snow. The State Championship course was recently tested by racers and given the thumbs up
. It is a fun fast and challenging course. 
The new course starts out right at the top of the lift and proceeds towards the traditional Beginner/sport course start, there it veers to the riders left to the next ski trail. Thgis trail has been used in the past but instead of straight down it will feature fast sweeping turns, past the turn off previously used and continue down the ski trail to the work road.
From there it traverses the mountain ducking into the woods a couple times for some fast excitement all the way into the woods to "Turkey Falls". From there it stays in the woods on fun single track to "The Yardsdale". No, not the traditional route but uses the wide way down the section, then all the way back to the bottom of the chairlift for the traditional Series finish area.
This is one of the most fun ways down the mountain yet !!
