MARA hosts first ski-race of the season at Mt. Ashland

ASHLAND, Ore. — The Mt. Ashland Racing Association hosted the ‘Shakespeare Cup’ this afternoon – its first race of the season.

The association says kids ages 6 and up are able to practice and participate in the racing.

A board member with the association, Zach Williams, says it’s been a record-breaking year – the association even had to put people on a waiting list.

He says over 120 kids ski raced on Saturday, with 72 more kids speeding down the slopes today.

‘The kids ski 2 runs and we take the combined time between the 2-runs and whoever is fastest gets placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd all the way to different categories,” said Williams.

The next race is set for February.
