EVENT INFORMATION
ESTIMATE COST: $1,800.00 per athlete
This trip will be done as TEAM TRAVEL. Coaches and athletes will travel together, stay together, and eat together. The trip cost estimate will include everything except airfare. If parents want to travel down to watch, they are encouraged to, but all athletes will stay with the team. If an athlete decides to stay with a parent, drive with a parent, etc… they can, but they will still be charged the full trip cost estimate.
TRAVEL
Athletes will travel as a team. Flying from Anchorage to Boise, and then using rental vehicles to drive into Sun Valley. Airfare is NOT included in the trip cost estimate. Ground transportation (car rental and fuel) is included. The head coach will purchase their airfare, and the athletes will then purchase tickets to get on the same flights, or flights that arrive into Boise on the same day, and depart on the same day.
LODGING & MEALS
Coaches and athletes will be staying at two separate VRBO condos (men in one condo, women in the other, and a coach in both). These condos are located near the bottom of the Greyhawk lift in Warm Springs. Athletes will be able to have meals at the condo and walk to lift. Food costs will be included in the trip cost estimate. The team will travel to Boise after the last race and stay at the Quality Inn Airport before flying out early the next morning.
BANQUET
There is a Banquet on Saturday night. Tickets are $58 and will be available for parents to purchase as well. Look for a link on that website link at some point. I will handle purchasing the athlete’s and coach’s banquet tickets.
ATHLETE LIFT TICKETS
Do any of your athletes have the Mountain Collective or IKON passes, and plan to use them? If so, they will not be on my team ticket order. Please let Natalie know immediately and I can provide instructions!
SPECTATING
All venues can be seen from the bottom, so if parents don’t want to ski, they don’t have to. There are discounted ticket rates for parents – you’ll see that on the Race Announcement.
