TEAM AGGREGATE AWARDS: Club points are accumulated for each skier who successfully completes each race. CCBC will post the aggregate point earned by participating clubs as they accumulate points over the season.

• 1 point per participant in an interval start race
• Top 5 placing in each category: 7(for first place), 6,5,4,3 points

If there are less than 5 competitors in a category, the points will still begin at 7 points for 1st place, 6 points for 2nd place, etc.

FACILITIES: DUE TO COVID DISTANCING INDOOR RULES: Indoor washrooms and an outhouse will be the only facilities available except in case of emergency, as our Dawn Mt.

ACCOMODATION AND DINING: Please visit tourismgolden.com for a list of restaurants and accommodators.

CANCELLATION POLICY: IF the event is cancelled due to weather, or if any entrant cannot make it to the event, we are unable to refund fees as we still have expenses to cover. We are keeping our fees as low as possible.

WAXING: Participants should come to the race with skis already waxed as there are limited power outlets available for waxing.

CCBC Protocol Regarding the Use of Fluorinated Waxes : Adherence to this protocol is the responsibility of coaches, parents and wax technicians.
