The 2009/2010 season is upon us and the Valley League is ready to challenge you on all levels of ski/snowboard racing. Look for a schedule soon.

Racing will take place on Wednesday's from 10am - 2pm on Charlie's Chase, Ego Alley, and South Bowl!
Each competitor will be asked to take two runs between 10am and 2pm and their best time will be taken. Scoring will be weighted based on the amount of competitors with in that division (Men Ski, Female Ski, Male Snowboard, Female Snowboard). Competitors will be allowed to drop their two lowest point totals for the end of season party and Valley League King and Queen bracketed system.
