OUR MISSION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Mountain Racers Program is focused on developing skills, building community and fostering a lifelong passion for snow sport.

EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS<\/strong>
The success and enjoyment that each athlete will experience will be limited if they do not have the right equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boots<\/strong>
A 3-4 buckle boot is recommended. They should fit snug but be comfortable. The athlete should be able to flex the boot (make it pivot at the ankle) while standing in them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poles<\/strong>
Fitting poles are important and necessary to participate. Proper fit- turned upside-down and held just under the basket, the arm should form a right angle (slightly less if not wearing ski boots)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skis<\/strong>
We encourage the athletes to have dedicated race skis that have either a Combi or SL cut. Skis should be tuned regularly to ensure that athletes have control while skiing fast. Standing in ski boots, the tip of the ski should be somewhere between the athlete\u2019s lips and their eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a bonus to have a second pair of free skis to use when freeriding with the club. The simple idea is to not damage their race skis when conditions are marginal (ex., early season).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helmet<\/strong>
Helmets should be a full-shell design with fixed ear pads (i.e., not soft removable ear pads) for extended protection while racing. There should be little to no movement when the athlete shakes their head up and down and side to side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goggles, gloves, face protection<\/strong>
These items, in good order, are important to ensure athletes are happy, warm and safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
