“Sick and tired of being stuck in the mundane intensity of normal ski races? Me too. Do a favor to your overworked competitive edge and join us for a light and joyous evening of racing on Wednesday, March, 12th. Forget the wax routine, forget the militant warm up regimen, and forget those pre-race jitters.
