The Super Ski Race Series is part of the Loppet Foundation’s Trail Kids year-round programming. The race series is included with the registration fee for the 5- and 10-week Trail Kids ski programs for the Wirth location only.
The series includes entry level races for beginner to advanced skiers. The goal of the series is to introduce youth to ski racing as well as to provide some competition for more experienced skiers. Youth who would rather not be timed can “tour” the race course at their own pace.
Trail Kids participants will race in a mass start format with their team coaching groups and will be scheduled at a specific wave start time during their regular program practice time. Races will be held at one time for each ski session on both Monday and Tuesday evenings correlating to the program nights. Youth will warm up for the race in their coaching groups and continue with their practice session following the race event.
