Monday Night Racing

• Racers must create an account before purchasing their initial ticket.  (directions are on the website).
• Link to purchase racer tickets on the racer page of our website.  Each racer will be asked to select the night they are racing and put in their bib number if they have received it, and Perm number for CSC if they have one.
• Racers may purchase multiple race date tickets at one time but keep in mind there are no refunds.
• Everyone needs to purchase a $5 media (RFID Card) fee with their first purchase (unless they have purchased one as of August 1, 2023).  This is an RFID card that is replacing all sticky and paper tickets this season.
• Racers can reload race tickets onto their RFID card for each race, so only one is needed.
• Racers must always carry their RFID card with them when they are in the lift lines. Everyone’s card will be scanned every time, no exceptions.
• On the first race night each racer will pick up their RFID card (this card can be picked up earlier to avoid lines) and get their bib for the season.
• After the first race, anyone who has their bib can simply load their card with a race ticket ahead of time, and go directly onto the slopes with their RFID card.

Thank you for all your patience while we get our new system up and running.  It will make racing easier for everyone!
Best, Andrea Shuster, Group & Racing Coordinator

CSC notes:

Since our main race will not count as NASTAR- you may or may not enter your NASTAR number (it is not a mandatory field)

At the Pizza party we will hand out bibs – bibs are a mandatory field on the RFID cards.

DO NOT sign up for a race unless you are sure to attend- there are no refunds. In case of a weather cancelled event -credit will be moved to the next event.

If you are a new racer, request for a CSC perm #’s should be directed to me. Information needed before I can assign a CSC perm# include:

Skier or boarder, Name (first & last), address, birthdate, male or female, ski club, email address, tel #, NASTAR #, [this year a NASTAR # is not mandatory](A  racer can apply for one on the NASTAR site)  = All of this info must be entered into the CSC racing database and you be assigned a CSC perm #= this will be unique to you and will follow all of your CSC racing history.  NOTE the information on the Mount Southington RFID cards does NOT carry over to the CSC database, but it does set up the race for each Monday night.   Requests for the CSC perm # should be directed to skicouncil@gmail.com   Once the race season has started- all racers should enter into the RFID database (your ticket)   1) CSC Perm#, 2) the season assigned Bib #, there are dedicated fields for this information.
CHANGE: age group of men (65-66) will go back to the younger men’s course (Blue).
2023-2024  Men born in 1958 (turn 66 in 2024) and older, women, and all snowboarders will have Bibs 1-199 (Blue Course)
Men born 1957 and younger (turn 67 in 2024) will have Bibs 200-399 (Red course)

Bibs will be handed out on a first come first served basis – and since we have the lottery for race bib order each night- a low number is not necessarily an advantage. Give yourself extra time when you get your bib if you get it on the first race night.

Have big happy snow thoughts….
