After much deliberation along with overcoming a bit of depression due to a difficult start to the season all while watching the west get pounded....the 2023 EPSC Race Tour is finally set!
This year we have a total of eight stops with the possibility of more to be integrated as they become available. This year will be comprised of two major EPSC 'ONLY' events and six public NASTAR piggyback events. New for this year I have the help of a trained score reporter and Microsoft Excel programmer. With these two skills combined, I look forward to providing you would the most accurate and expeditious results! Times and overall participation will be used in the tallying of the results at the end of the season.
1) Kicking off the tour will be our first EPSC 'only' race at Montage Mountain Sunday, February 5th! Registration will close at 8pm Friday February 3rd so be sure to sign up now!
[This event is currently only open to racers but working with Montage to see about a discounted non-racing lift ticket option. Information to follow as it becomes available.]
The piggyback race registration will run a little differently this year as there is a $5 registration fee. Registration is required for your scores to count towards the tour. There will not be any refunds for these registrations, but you can register until 11:59pm the night of the race. (That means you can race, go après and then register for the race!) Please Note: this does not include your lift ticket or NASTAR registrations for each day/location. All NASTAR races are subject to typical host mountain procedures.
2) Night Ride NASTAR Piggyback (Mod. GS-1) @ Bear Creek Mountain Resort; Tuesday February 7th at 6:45pm - 8:45pm.
