J2 Racing Program Info and Rates

J2’s ski all day (9:00 am – 2:30 pm). The athlete will ski with a team of coaches who will work with each athlete individually at different times. J2 athletes are eligible to compete in races for points with J1’s and Senior’s (19 years and up). They will race for points based on results. Each athlete starts each discipline with 990 points and works to lower them based on results. Each J2 will start their racing career in the Tecnica Cup Series. The athlete and parent are asked to attend an early season meeting to discuss race schedules and balancing school with days missed for skiing. The coaching staff will determine the best possible competitive schedule to support the athletes. A coach will be available on the mountain for training on non-race days. We encourage athletes to ski as much as possible throughout the winter, during the week and skiing on the weekend before or after their program. All athletes are required to be members of both USSA and NHARA, (our state racing organization). Mount Sunapee and USSA require that all athletes wear helmets with hard earflaps.

At the J2 level, the parents/athletes are required to complete the race forms. Entries should be mailed at least a week in advance with a check. Online entries are available for selected events. If you must cancel, you must call the race secretary before 3 days prior to the race to receive a refund. All the numbers and addresses are listed in the NHARA Handbook, which is an important source of information at this level. It is very important to let your coach know if you do not plan to attend a scheduled race.
