Hi Racers and wanna bees. Our friend Jeff Bienhaur is fighting a battle with pancreatic cancer. You can help and have fun at the same time.

The races are ASRA. Both runs need to finish. The GS is set top to bottom on exhibition. better pitch on the first 3 turns. Giant Slalom and a Slalom race. The Slalom is a set of 50 to 55 turns. A real leg burner.
Cost is about 25$ per each race but the price is set the day of the race bring CASH!! All profit goes to Jeff.

The BIFF Race had 201 racers, wonder if we can beat that.

Info: Roundtop, PA - Double -10:00 Start 2-run GS in AM, 2-run SL afterward ASRA

8 am regis 9 am inspect GS 10 am GS race SL to follow

Roundtop conditions by Sat. A to A+ 100 % Open. pow pow.

I put this little summary list and links for the basics of racing for ski snowboard. Sport, risk avoidance, Course inspections and line, and Ron LeMaster link of great articles. I did this for a friend who has never raced. if you are a level 6 or above try racing, go at you own pace, get some vid and progress.

When I started I would actually slow down on purpose. Not now full out all the time. GS Race beginner help

just a word of constructive criticism, you need to make it easier to people to donate in the lodge. lat time i was up i wanted to give some cash and the lady was kinda rude and told me I had to donate at the race house on Ex. I went over there and almost had to beg somebody to take my money.

Finsout, I will pass the word. Most is through the iraceforbiff.org site where you can donate. I really appreciate that you tried. I don't know if they are set up all the time in the hut. We will be racing sat.
