Limited Time Discount Pass Info

2024-2025 Race Info
Race registration is now open on the website at https://www.eicsl.org/race-registration.html   Members must sign up individually, clubs will not register you.

Race dates for this coming season are: 1/5 @ Wildcat, 1/26 @ Attitash, 2/23 @ Attitash, and Championship on 3/9/25 @ Wildcat. All of these dates are Sunday’s. The race program will be modeled after the TGIF races at Bretton Woods with some of the big changes being first come – first served race order, no bibs (you’ll get a number for the season) and 2 runs available (2nd run will be optional). If you don’t buy an Epic season pass I strongly urge you to buy an Epic day pass with as many days as you think you’ll race immediately.  We have not been able to get them to sell day-of-race discounted tickets and in any case the price on the day passes will be far better than anything I’d expect to get even if they do decide to give them to us. Their 4 day pass costs $53/day and this offer will end on 12/2/24. The pass at that price includes Attitash, Wildcat, Sunapee, and Crotched with a 2nd pricing tier including all of their New England resorts as well as additional resorts nationally. Go to https://www.epicpass.com/passes/epic-day-pass.aspx for pricing, options and details.

Bretton Woods will continue to have their TGIF Friday race series.  Complete info and registration is on their website at:
