Race Team
The FaGowees race in the Sierra League, which is comprised of several ski clubs in Northern California and the Reno area. Racer levels range from low intermediate to expert. There are 10 ability levels with two age groups in each level. You race against skiers that have the age and ability as you do! Everyone is there to have fun and to improve their skiing while having a friendly competition. There are GS, slalom and one giant slalom races each season for a total of 8 races plus the NorCal and Far West finals. Races are $20 each or you can buy a race pass for about $75 (FaGowees subsidize your race pass by $25, making your membership almost free!) You (and your friends that show up in the morning to register for the races) get discounted lift tickets on race day! Scared to race? Don’t despair! The first race is free and there are several race clinics, including those before the first races, which are sponsored by the Sierra League
