Common Questions with Answers:
Q1. Do I have to be a New England Masters racer to participate?
A1. No, but we encourage all racers after the first year to join NEMS. If you haven’t been a member for a few years you are welcome to give it a try again before joining, but only members are eligible for the grand prizes at the end of year banquet and discounts from our sponsors.
Q2. What skill level do I need to have?
A2. We have racers of all ability levels, from former U.S. Ski team members to brand new racers and everything in between (beer league, past high school race team, NASTAR, USSA, FIS, etc)
Q3. How old do I need to be to participate?
A3. Racers must be 18 years old to race.
Q4. Do I need to race both days?
A4. No, we understand that you can’t always sacrifice an entire weekend for ski racing. You are free to register for just one race. We’re excited to have new people race with us, even if just for one day.
Q5. How much does a race cost and what is included?
A5. The race fee is $55, which includes a lift ticket and two runs (regardless of your finish the prior run). So when you aren’t racing you can enjoy free sking the area!
Q6. If I have a seasons pass, do I still have to pay the full amount?
A6. At most mountains, yes. Check the website “Race Info Sheet” to see if there is a pass discount or email the NEMS race administrator Lucy Blake [email protected]
Q7. Do I need a USSA license to race?
A7. Yes, but if you are new to New England Masters you can give it a try with a short term license that NEMS will cover the cost for you! All you need to do is fill out a form at registration and have an insurance card in hand.
Q8. How do I register?
A8. Registrations can be completed online ahead of time at www.skiracereg.com. Click here for detailed instructions.
Q9. Can I register on the day of the race?
A9. Yes, however we encourage racers to pre-register since onsite registration takes longer to complete and once a full NEMS member you will be charged an addition late fee of $10. If you sign-up and don’t show-up the Did Not Start fee is only $5, and it’s easy to unregister on skiracereg with a click of a button until noon the day before the race series begins.
