The Race and Ace draws skiers, snowboarders and golfers with its simple yet unique format. Competitors will ski or ride a giant slalom course in the morning and golf 18 holes in the afternoon. There are three categories namely elite individual, two-person teams and four-person teams.

The Washington competition will be held on April 1 with the skiing and riding portion at Snoqualmie Summit Ski Resort and the golfing portion at the Newcastle Golf Club’s Coal Creek Course. Afterwards, on May 6, the competition will be held at Central Oregon. Skiers and riders will compete in a dual giant slalom at Mt. Bachelor and then golf in 18 holes at Sunriver Resort’s Meadows course. Lastly, on May 20, the final Race and Ace event will be held in Idaho at Tamarack Resort where participants will compete on its excellent ski mountain and Robert Trent Jones III signature golf course.

Deadline for registration is two weeks before each event. Early registration fee is $229 per person and ends one month before each event. The fee is inclusive of skiing/riding, golf, a pre-event registration and cocktail reception, gift bag and an awards dinner after the competition. For more details, log on raceandace.com.
