Why race?

I race because:

1. Gives me something to focus on to get me in shape for backcountry skiing.

2. Makes me a better skier - technique, fitness, etc.

3. Get to meet other backcountry skiers.

4. Get my competitve juices flowing and gone (so they don't come out in the backcountry.)

What are the reasons you race? Or why have you not raced yet?

General Discussion

I race as an excuse to travel and ski other resorts!
