About Sundown Race Team

About: The Sundown Race Team provides kids a chance to experience Alpine Ski Racing in Eastern Iowa. Ski racing is a great way to expand your son or daughter skiing skills -- a sport they'll be able to enjoy for the rest of their lives. The Team places an emphasis on safety, improving technique, and building sportsmanship within each team member.

Where: Located at Sundown Ski Resort, in Dubuque, Iowa, the Sundown Team provides kids ages 5 to 20 the chance to advance their skiing abilities. Thru ski racing kids not only develop as individuals, but also discover a means to stay active outdoors all year round.
