Have you or someone you know ever wondered what it would be like to race down a ski course like Mikaela Shiffrin or Lindsey Vonn? If that idea sparks your interest—or if you know someone who would like to challenge themselves and learn something new—the Ann Arbor Ski Club has several opportunities to learn and participate in ski racing this season. Whether you are an experienced racer or have never raced before, we can help you learn the basics and improve your skills.

Mt. Brighton Wednesday Night Racing

Mt. Brighton will host NASTAR-style racing on Wednesday evenings, beginning January 6 from 6:00–8:30 p.m. The program runs for eight weeks. After each race, participants can enjoy door prizes and the announcement of race results. Mt. Brighton offers different classes based on age and ability, so there is an opportunity for everyone to compete at an appropriate level.

MACC Racing at Boyne Mountain

For those who would like to take their racing to the next level, the Ann Arbor Ski Club will participate with the Michigan Alpine Competition Council (MACC) in five race weekends at Boyne Mountain. The races include Giant Slalom (GS) and Slalom. We typically look for an Airbnb or other group lodging when there is enough interest. Races are held on either Super Bowl or North Boyne.

2027 Boyne Mountain Race Schedule:

• January 9–10 – Super Bowl
• January 23–24 – Super Bowl
• February 5–7 – Super Bowl
• February 20–21 – North Boyne
• March 5–7 – Super Bowl

On Saturday evenings following the day's racing, MACC hosts an awards gathering at the Snowflake Lounge in the Clock Tower.

Both the Mt. Brighton and Boyne programs offer different age and ability classes. You do not need to be an experienced racer to participate—we can help teach you how to navigate a race course and get started.

If you are interested in racing, or simply want to learn more, please contact Alan Osterdale at aco724c@gmail.com or 248-408-6906. Or attend the Race Team Meeting and watch the Michigan-OSU game on November 28.
