You don't have to be an expert skier to race! Going around the gates will improve your skiing. Skiers, Boarders, and Racers are divided into different levels, so you ski against others who ski/board at your level. There are 10 race leagues in Far West Racing Association.
Racing is for everyone, FWRA members will tell you. The handicap system allows skiers of all abilities to find a competitive level. Although as many as 250 or 300 skiers might be competing in a league race they're not all competing for the same prize. Skiers compete within their ability group, so that maybe only a dozen or so racers are vying for a particular title on a given day. Ability classes range from the truly accomplished elite racers through a range of classes, to skiers who race as beginners. A total of ten class brackets ensure that racers are competing with similar skiers. Additionally, racers are grouped in age and gender categories.
