The registration link takes you to another race, here's the page I found:
ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=41743
Are there classes or is it just one open class?

Thanks Jason for catching that link problem. Two divisions we think. Elite and recreational. The vert race on Friday might also have a junior division. We need to see how many show interest. We are trying to design 6000' of climbing into the elite class. 3-4000 for the recreational class. Since this is our first year, we will need to make late course changes depending on snow and avi conditions. But we have some great terrain to work with.
