MJ's Race

MJ's Race is an all day event held each year at Waterville Valley Ski Area. It is made
possible by the combined efforts of many people and is a great day of comraderie and
excitement as families and children enjoy ski racing and the outdoors together.

A sanctioned USSA ski race. Typically a GS format with an occasional Slalom course if the
snow conditions that year prohibit the GS.

Open to J-I's, J-II's, second-year J-III's and Seniors. US Ski Team members and many top
college racers turn out for the event each year, helping out the younger racers by "giving
away their points". It has always been a superb penalty point race for new and up-coming
racers.

The finish line, surrounded by banners of the generous sponsors as well as supportive fans,
is the scene of reunions as many former racers and friends are also on the hill for the love
of "M.J." and NH ski-racing.

The tent at the finish line is filled with goodies, all donated to the cause and available to
racers and friends. With food and goodies from Welch's Juices, Dunkin' Donuts, BayGull
Bagels, Champlain Chocolates, Subway's 6 foot subs, Stoneyfield yogurts, apples, baked
goods, cocoa, coffee, Powerade and more...there is definitely something for everyone!!

It is impossible to list everyone we need to thank, but in the spirit of MJ's race, it is hoped
that all those who have done so much and given so generously year after year realize the
importance of their gifts. We Thank You, from the bottom of our hearts for keeping MJ's
spirit alive and continuing his "work" benefitting others.
