Don’t forget to register on-line on the Mount Southington racing web page under Adult race leagues.
 
Pizza orders must be in by 3pm.  The Mountain Room: Cheese, pepperoni, or sausage for the pizza toppings

If you do not have a CSC perm#, your results will not be posted.

If you are new to the system, you need to apply for a CSC Perm number. Information needed includes the following:

Skier or boarder, Name (first & last), address, birthdate, male or female, ski club, email address, telephone  #, NASTAR #, [this year a NASTAR # is not mandatory]

(A  racer can apply for one on the NASTAR site)  All of this info will be entered into the CSC racing database and you be assigned a CSC perm #= this will be unique to you and will follow all of your CSC racing history. 

NOTE the information on the Mount Southington RFID cards does NOT carry over to the CSC database, but it does set up the race for each Monday night.   Requests for the CSC perm # should be directed to skicouncil@gmail.com   Once the race season has started- all racers should enter into the RFID database (your ticket)  

1) CSC Perm#, and

2) the season assigned Bib #, there will be dedicated fields for this information.

Racers purchase tickets on the Mount Southington Web page.

  • Racers must create an account before purchasing their initial ticket.  (directions are on the website).
  • There is a link to purchase racer tickets on the racer page of our website.  Each racer will be asked to select the night they are racing and put in their bib number if they have received it, and Perm number for CSC if they have one.  
  • Racers may purchase multiple race date tickets at one time but keep in mind there are no refunds so don’t sign up for nights you will not attend.  In case of a weather cancelled event -credit will be moved to the next event. 
  • Everyone needs to purchase a $5 media fee with their first purchase (unless they have purchased one as of August 1, 2023).  This is an RFID card that is replacing all sticky and paper tickets this season. 
  • Racers can reload race tickets onto their RFID card for each race, so only one is needed.
  • Racers must always carry their RFID card with them when they are in the lift lines. Everyone’s card will be scanned every time, no exceptions.
  • On the first race night each racer will pick up their RFID card (this card can be picked up earlier to avoid lines) and get their bib for the season.
  • After the first race, anyone who has their bib can simply load their card with a race ticket ahead of time, and go directly onto the slopes with their RFID card.
  • Since our main race will not count as NASTAR- you may or may not enter your NASTAR number (it is not a mandatory field)
  • At the Pizza party we will hand out bibs – bibs are a mandatory field on the RFID cards
  • Your perm number will be available for your information and your input for your RFID card (on line)
  • RFIDs WILL NOT be handed out at the pizza party.

New Racers – Requests for the CSC perm # should be directed to skicouncil@gmail.com

COURSE CHANGES: age group of men (65-66) will go back to the younger men’s course (Blue).
2023-2024  Men born in 1958 (turn 66 in 2024) and older, women, and all snowboarders will have Bibs 1-199 (Blue Course)
Men born 1957 and younger (turn 67 in 2024) will have Bibs 200-399 (Red course)

Bibs will be handed out on a first come first served basis – and since we have the lottery for race bib order each night- a low number is not necessarily an advantage. Give yourself extra time when you get your bib if you get it on the first race night.

 

Monday Info needed for racing:

Skier or boarder, Name (first & last), address, birthdate, male or female, ski club, email address, tel #, NASTAR #, (if you do not have a NASTAR #, one will be assigned to you on your first race)  = All of this info must be entered into the CSC racing database and you be assigned a CSC perm #= this will be unique to you and will follow all of your racing history.  In order to race, you must be a paid member of one of the CT Ski Council member clubs. Once you have a perm #, updates of current/or changed information should be forwarded to skicouncil@gmail.com    Also initial requests for perm # should be directed to this email.

In order to race on a Monday night, the CSC will use a new Mou8nt Southington web site for payment for racing and ski ticket. Payment for Monday and Tuesday night racing will go through the Mount Southington online sales system, not AdminSports.

 

This should be done between Friday and noon on the Monday of the race. You must register on line prior to the race- NO EXCEPTION- there will be no walk ins the day of the race.  Registration on Mount Southington site should happen in advance of any race and both the NASTAR # and Perm # are required for initial registration.

 

Bibs will be handed out at your first race, and you will keep them for the season. They must be turned in at the end of the season (or your last race). Run order is determined by a lottery number for each course. That number runs first, and others follow in order, and it loops around. There can be 2 runs, the best run counts.  Men 65 & over, women, and snowboarders run on the skiers right course, Men 64 & under on the skiers left course. There is a 3rd course (skiers far right) that is a training NASTAR course- for an extra fee (sign up for NASTAR) on the web page.

 

If you have questions please also direct them to skicouncil@gmail.com

NOTE: There is a one time $5 charge for a reloadable RFID card.  The RFID card will be scanned before getting on the lift, each time; therefore, every racer must have their card on them when entering the lift line.  No racer will be allowed on the lift without a valid RFID card.

2022-2023 Racing Summary

Our Monday night race series was a big success. We held all 8 weeks of racing.

We had our awards party at Mount Southington on Monday March 6th the first time in a while to have a party. Awards were handed out for the 50th year Monday night series.

Ron Kapraszewski, his brother Bruce and Steve Jackson were the founders of the Monday night series 50 years ago. Ron is still actively racing, but both Bruce and Steve have passed.  I made and presented a ski chair to Ron, in honor of his brother Bruce, with Bruce’s skis a part of that chair. Carol Sweeney was also honored as one of the initial race recorders for results in the early seasons. Carol was presented a picture from the artist from Tully NY, Grant Doldge.  Grant continues to not be the best businessman by still not putting his name and address on the back of the first place pictures, but he is a very talented artist- with his signed and numbered ski prints.  Also handed out were white engraved ceramic cups for second and a white engraved ceramic mugs for 3rd.  The Monday Night series was the only race awards that were handed out as this was the only series we were able to hold this season.

For the 3rd Monday season, we handed out permanent bibs and it was again a success=however I am still missing 22 bibs.  I had ordered all the missing replacement bibs for any bibs that were missing last year. As last year, I will charge the ski club $30 for bibs not turned in prior to the last CSC meeting. Thanks to all team captains for following this up- I sent out a list of names and the bibs to the team captains.

I have asked for racer feedback about Monday night.

 

LOOKING BACK:
2019-2020 averaged 126 racers,
2020-2021 averaged 106 racers,
2021-2022 averaged 97 racers
2022-2023 averaged 117 racers.
We had an 18% increase of skiers from last year.

Thanks to all the work Ron Kapraszewski and Lynn Swanson did on handing out swag- and prizes, selected by bib numbers- I believe that was a factor in increasing our race numbers. If you have suggestions on how to increase our participation – please email me or write to me and let me know.

 

Thank you all racers for making this season a Healthy & safe success!
