Locals+ Qualifier Sunday Schedule
UPDATE for Sunday:
Mt. Baker is getting dumped on! The snowfall is fantastic, but is also making it challenging for racers to get back on course and get moving again if they fall in the powder snow outside of the track. For the Next Generation Categories, a parent or guardian will be welcome to ride the course behind their child to assist them if they fall. If you have any questions, find Nicole or John Sweeney in the start area.
