Racing

Racing is for everyone, FWSA members will tell you. The handicap system allows skiers of all abilities to find a competitive level. Much like golf's numerical handicapping system, skiers are grouped by their past performance and race against individuals with similar skills.

Although as many as 250 or 300 skiers might be competing in a league race on a typical Saturday at Mammoth, Lake Tahoe area or a ski resort near Portland, they're not all competing for the same prize. Skiers compete within their ability group, so that maybe only a dozen or so racers are vying for a particular title on a given day.
