Each team will get at least two races.
Fancy dress is optional - but impress the judges and you will win prizes. Plus this year we will be serving a vin chaud courtesy of Meribel in the afternoon when we all need a little boost of dutch courage!
 Race Categories
We will be awarding prizes for
the top three male and female skiers and boarders in the Individual Slalom and for first place ski and snowboard teams in the Team slalom.
This race is open to everyone but if you are a professional (ie. instructor or pro-racer, ex-racer) then you are more than welcome to compete but you won't be able to walk away with the prizes in the Individual race...only the glory!
