Low-Fluoro Craftsbury Opener this weekend!
We’re excited to invite everyone to the Craftsbury Opener this Sunday, November 30. In a new twist this season, we’re making one change to this traditional early season interval start freestyle race: we’re asking all competitors to keep their wax to low fluoro or hydrocarbon only – no HF, topcoats, powders, or liquids.
We’ve had success doing this for our GRP SpringTour FIS races every March, and thought it’d be a great way to keep this early season test simple, cheap, and low-key while minimizing stress for athletes, coaches, and parents as they prep for the first event of the year. So save your cash and fancy ski prep for later in the year, and come on up for a fun event at Craftsbury!
