Event notes

US Nationals - Taos Ski Valley - Individual Sprint Race - OPEN TO ALL RACERS



We are extremely excited for the sprint this year. Starting at 5:30PM each racer will race the sprint course in a time trial format. The racers will race alone and depart every 30-45 seconds. Depending on the total number of racers, 6-16 racers will advance to a semi final race (or just a final race if the group is small). The semi-finals will be raced ski-cross style with 6-8 racers racing at the same time. The top 3 racers from the semi finals will advance to the finals.

REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 5PM SHARP!!!



The sprint course will have a a skinning section with several switchbacks, a booter, then another skinning section. The descent will be GS gates with a skate to the finish line. All racers will be required to carry packs, shovel, probes, beacons, and a jacket. Skis must be attached to the pack for the booter. All transitions must be completed in the transition zone (for example, you cannot ski out of the transition until your skins are in your suit).

Here is an example of how the sprint course will be setup.
