Interested in Improving Your Child's Skiing Skills?
Here's a Brief Introduction to Wijara & Sundown Race Team

• First off, if you're interested in joining SRT, all are welcome, send an email to srteamcoordinator@gmail.com.
   
• SRT is a non-profit Club, a parent's run club, providing kids an opportunity to learn advanced skiing skills through participation in Alpine Ski Racing. 
   
• As the second largest team in the league (Wijara.org), with 95+ athletes competing, we count on parent involvement and support! Parents must volunteer.

• Our coaches pick-up where Sundown's Learn to Ski Program ends. The team's objective is to teach kids advanced skiing skills thru repetition, strategy, and skills development. SRT host practices three times weekly; Tuesday and Thursday evening, and Saturday Mornings.

• SRT is one of 8+ teams competing in Wijara, Wisconsin Illinios/Iowa Alpine Junior Racing Association, boasting teams from Wisconsin, Illinios, Iowa, all the way South to Hidden Valley, in Saint Louis, Missouri. The Wijara League consists of eight other teams: Chestnut Mountain, Tyrol Basin, Cascade Mountain, Snowstar, Hidden Valley, Blackhawk, Four Lakes, and Wilmot.

• Each season Wijara schedules four weekend events: two in January and two in February. Weekend races typically have between 400 to 550 racers, run on two separate courses and trails. The races are held at Sundown, Chestnut, Cascade, (occasionally Devil's Head), and Tyrol Basin.
   
• SRT sends eight coaches to every Wijara race.  Our coaching staff ensures that the team is well organized and supported throughout each race day.  Coaching staff are on hand to provide support, guidance, and strategy thru out each race day, helping racers and parents with course inspection, communicate start times, calming competition nerves at the start, monitoring finish area, and assist with questions or timing issues.
   
• For minors, a parent or guardian must attend the race, supporting their children with lift tickets, food, free skiing in between race runs, coordinating schedules, transportation, and lodging needs. 
   
• Wijara Competitions: On Saturday, teams compete in one day of Giant Slalom (GS), and one day of Slalom (SL) on Sundays, (a.k.a Sunday Slalom!). The weekend events are fun outdoor competition opportunities for kids and parents alike, providing all with the opportunity to get outside during the winter season. The weekend races are a chance to enjoy winter, make new friends, watch the kids compete, and join in a fun carnival like atmosphere.
