Racing

When skiing and snowboarding is not enough

About

Connecticut Ski Council Clubs race every Monday night at 7:30 PM at Mount Southington.  The minimum age to race is 18.  Skiers who are 20, 40 and even 80 years old race for the competition, camaraderie and excitement.

There is no racing experience necessary.  It is all about having fun.  While racing, you can improve your skiing skills and get valuable coaching advice.

The format is a double course giant slalom with skiiers racing the best of two runs.

Racers Needed

The New Britain Falcons do not have many racers, but this is where you come in!  We invite you to take part in the fun and represent our club.  Take advantage of the opportunity to meet new people and improve your skiing skills.

Our goal is to create a team of 12 to participate in the weekly competition and help represent and promote our club.

To be eligible, you must be a member of one of the Connecituct Ski Council clubs which New Britain Falcons are.
