News and Event Schedule

***Updated event schedule [Tue Feb. 2] The Western Regionals daily event schedule has been updated to reflect venue changes. (see link below for complete event schedule) The US team will be using CB's for Olympic training and the hill is being water-injected to provide them with a World Cup quality training surface (popularly known as "ice" to mortal masters racers!). Consequently, the GS and SL technical events originally planned for CB's and Picabo at the Eagle Race Arena will be moved to Payday. All events are now on Payday.

Registration will be open 9-4 on Wednesday at the Sports Desk for arriving competitors to check in, and early Thursday from 7:30-8:30 prior to the first day's racing. The Sports Desk is located in the Main Ticket Office building in the main PCMR plaza.
