2005
Far West Championships Return To Heavenly
Dates
The Far West Championships will
be at Heavenly at South Lake Tahoe on March 18 through March 20, 2005.
Heavenly and the Far West Championships will continue to make positive
changes for 2005. Heavenly has significantly improved the lifts on the
California side of the mountain with high speed lifts.
Lodging and Awards Dinner
Lodging specials are available at
the Horizon Casino Resort in Stateline, NV. Just mention the Far West
Race Championships when making your personal reservation, as the Horizon
will also host our dinner and awards party on Saturday night. Once
again we will be having a sit down dinner, an equipment and trip raffle,
followed by the awards for Saturday’s race, and dancing to a local DJ.
To make a
reservation at the Horizon, call 1-800-648-3322.
Shuttle
Complimentary shuttles will be
provided between the Horizon Hotel and Heavenly. Heavenly also has a
Daycare which is a California state-licensed facility providing indoor
and outdoor supervision and activities for infants/toddlers and
preschoolers. Complimentary hot chocolate, oranges, granola bars and
water will be provided at the base of the race venue. Stadium bleachers
will also be at the bottom of the race venue.

Pacesetter Races
On Friday, we will have six pacesetter races on East Bowl and World Cup
these will include three slaloms and three Giant Slaloms. Race Training
will also be available through the Heavenly Race Department. Call your
Race Chairman to sign up for the Race Training.
Races
On Saturday we will have six Championship Slalom courses set up for the
various ability classes of competitors on World Cup and East Bowl and
Sunday will be the six Giant Slalom races on the site of previous FIS
World Cup Race Courses.
Rule Changes
This year we had only a few rules changes, the big change was changing
our team point system which gives points to every participant and gives
more points deeper in each class, and the second big change was
splitting the S1 class into two classes and adding a new class called
S0.
The Far West Race
Association is planning a great event for this weekend and we warmly
welcome your participation in our Championships at Heavenly in 2005. We
look forward to seeing you at Heavenly, so please contact one of our
clubs in your area through our website at www.fwra.com.
