Room for 1 more?

[Jimdh]

Howdy folks! Greetings from Idaho. Season ended last Sunday, so now must turn back to ski forums until fishing turns on. Long time lurking on epic and NASTAR, but don't post much- learning from what others have to say. Have skied for a long time, started racing at age 50. Looking to try Masters this year. Best wishes to all for a great spring, short summer and early winter! Jim

Always room for one more. Now, how can we raise your status from lurker to contributor? If you are looking for racing tips, @ScotsSkier and @Doug Briggs are two of your go to guys that have proven race pedigrees and love to share their knowledge.

Thanks Philpug, much appreciated. To start with, I'm trying to see what the norm is for Master Racing programs at other hills. What do people pay to participate; how frequently do they have hill time; etc. We're trying to start a Masters program in conjunction with our area's established youth program, and are interested in what other areas offer for comparison. We will have paid coaches. Thanks in advance for any information. If this needs to be in a different thread, please let me know - or move it as you see fit. Jim

Jimdh, welcome to PugSki. Always happy to help out with race info. And, like you, I also started racing at 50 and have made some progress since then (https://forum.pugski.com/threads/my-race-season-by-the-numbers-h-t-to-master-card.1803/#post-37295) so have some good insight on what is required and some of the pitfalls to avoid...
