SUNDAY SERIES

Ready to Race!

2024 Sunday Race Series
Sunday mornings at Mt. Holly, Pine Knob, and Alpine Valley

This is our popular race series where athletes can race in their own age group for single races as well as collect season long “World Cup” points. Weekly prizes and medals are awarded to athletes of all ages. The Sunday Race Series runs for seven weeks alternating at Mt. Holly, Pine Knob, and Alpine Valley for seven total races. This year we will be adding easy slalom races and a combi if conditions permit.

Note: The Sunday Race series are included when students sign up for the Six Week Thunderbolt Junior Development Program.

If your athlete is apprehensive with skiing on the race hill and is not ready to participate in this weekend's SSR, I would highly recommend you and you athlete(s) still attend the race to observe. This will give you a good idea of what to expect when your athlete(s) are ready to participate.

Additionally we have the Donut Trailer for Pine Knob Sunday Series races. The Donut Trailer accepts cash and credit cards, so please bring your appetite if you are interested in purchasing donuts, coffee or hot chocolate.
