EXPERIENCE ALPINE RACING! DEVELOP EXPERT SKILLS! AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS!
CMSC Alpine Racing is the Chicago area race league. We are divided by ability into different classes where beginning racers race against beginning racers, and advanced against advanced. Each race consists of two runs, with the winners determined by the fastest combined time in each class. The top three racers in each class receive medals, and points are awarded towards a season long trophy for each group.
The series is 14 races, spread out over three months, and provides skiing and social opportunities for all. Giant slalom (GS) races call for wider turns and allow racers to complete the course at higher speeds– these are perfect for newcomers! Slalom races require quick, short radius turns and test technical ski skills.
There is a training program that many racers join for additional cost though the Wilmot Mountain ski school on Tuesday and Wednesday nights throughout the season, as well as Wednesday afternoons. Many of the racers also compete, when they become more proficient in the Midwest Masters races, which is the Central Division of U.S. Ski and Snowboard.
This program is run by a dedicated committee, all volunteers who strive to accommodate a wide variety of skiers and ability levels.
