Racing

We run outstanding races on dual courses with dual timers that allow 2 racers on the courses at any time. We put 1000 racers through 25,000 gates in 5 hours averaging 3 races per minute.

Sundown Mountain Junior Race Team

The Sundown Mountain Jr. Race Team consists of area youths from ages 6 to 18. You don't need to be an accomplished skier to join. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to be a part of the team.

You can make new friends, improve your skills, learn to run gates and ski at other areas. Medals are awarded to the top 5 racers in each age class for each race. Racing is fun and builds confidence.

We are a member of WIJARA (Wisconsin / Illinois / Iowa Junior Racing Assn.). WIJARA hosts four weekend races a year at various member resorts. WIJARA is a division of USSA (United States Ski Association).

Practices are held as soon as Sundown opens. Racing begins the first weekend in January and runs through the first weekend in March.
