Family Race Nights

Who’s excited for another year of fun racing at the Gorge?!?

Registration Starts in 3…2…1…

Racing under the lights is back for another year at Granite Gorge! As we continue to improve our offerings, new for this year:

We are adjusting to a Family Race Night as we feel this more closely aligns to our overall mission focused on inclusiveness.  This simply means that people of all ages are welcome to race and it allows for families to sign up as a team.  If you have a group of adults only that want to race, that’s totally fine and welcome!  We have different categories for almost any racer type. 

We are moving to Friday nights.  Not only does Friday Family Fun at the Gorge sound awesome, but it should allow for better flow with other activities during the week.  Come kick off your weekend with racing fun at the Gorge!

Team Registration

Welcome to Granite Gorge Mountain Park’s Adult Race League – where passion meets the powder!

  • Our race league is an internally operated, therefore not associated with NASTAR
    • We do leverage many of the NASTAR guidelines, such as handicaps, but racers will not collect points for an overall NASTAR point system

    • Female
    • Male

    • Telemark
    • Snowboard
    • Age (1-10, 11-18, 19+)
  • Racers of any age are welcome – from little shredders to seasoned rippers!  
  • The league competes in a single, giant slalom course on our Main Street trail

  • Teams must be at least (4) racers, but can be up to (6) racers can be on a team
    • Teams require a Team Captain to sign up the group for a more efficient sign up process
    • If an individual wants to sign up, that is totally fine and we will create house teams for those individuals

Race Night Rules:

  • All racers must fill out this online waiver form prior to racing: Waiver
  • Only registered racers allowed to race – no substitutions
  • Timed racing occurs between 6:15PM and 7:30PM
  • When completing the race forms, indicate Race Category (skier, snowboard, tele, etc.)
  • At least (4) team members need to show up to a race night in order for the team results to be counted
    • The top (4) times from a team are used each race night for overall results 
    • Regardless of how many team members show up, individual race times will still be recorded and part of the overall rankings for that specific night
    • Each racer gets two attempts and their best time of the two attempts is used for results 
  • Most nights people can run the course before and after the official times to get some more practice in – it really depends on the conditions and number of people on a given night
  • Racers can ski any OPEN terrain during the lift ticket period (no skiing/riding CLOSED trails)
  • Any racer that has a run that involves a faulty time (timing gear issue) will be allowed to redo their run – only two timed runs will be collected for actual race results 
  • Have fun!
