Up The Creek is proud to sponsor a fun & exciting co-ed downhill ski racing team that skis in “Teamski”, a recreational ski-racing league consisting of members from various front-range ski clubs & businesses. The Up The Creek Team is composed of 30+ dynamic members that make up several ski teams ranging from intermediate to advanced. Race team members compete individually and in co-ed teams against each other & against members of other ski clubs. The motivation for participating in Teamski is the warm camaraderie, good-spirited competition, frequent non-racing skiing get-togethers, discounted lift tickets, & awards parties after each race that include free beer, munchies & sometimes BBQ. Oh, and let’s not forget bragging rights!
You don’t need to be a hot shot racer to participate. As long as you can control your turns and like to have fun, you’ll be a perfect match for the team! Think of it as the bowling league of skiing! Its supposed to be fun!
The race format is a dual modified giant slalom similar to NASTAR racing, with courses set on intermediate runs. Course length is between 30 to 45 seconds for top skiers. Individual competition is based on team seeding for each race & age group for total season standings. Finishing in the top three wins you a nice medal plus enters you in a drawing for prizes such as skis, bindings & poles.
We also welcome snowboarders and telemark skiers. You even get a 10% handicap advantage over the skiers!
