The course will be open for practice from 9 AM.
We will hold a secondary event in the afternoon, A Giant Slalom (no extra entry fee). Think of skiing – the sprint in the morning is the Downhill event, the Giant Slalom will be a slightly twister course that is doable in WWR at pace. You will have to go the correct side of the course markers, but will incur no penalties for hitting the marker, go the wrong side of the course marker and you get disqualified from that run.
Fees: Senior (£): 7 U18 (£): 7
Entries On The Day: Late entries on the day are accepted
Late Entry Surcharge (£): No
