Going Downhill League (GDHL)
GDHL Racing Guide designed to help you get started
For those new to racing, we’ve created a GDHL Racing Guide designed to help you get started. The GDHL (Going Downhill League) features weekend races throughout January and February, offering both individual and team scoring. Racers can compete in seven races, including giant slaloms, slaloms, and a super G, with multiple runs to give you a chance to push your limits. Whether you’re racing for individual glory or as part of a team, the GDHL is the perfect way to experience the thrill of competition.
The guide covers everything you need to know, from how racers are ranked to the format of the races, and even tips on how to get involved in the Calcutta, where teams are auctioned off and winnings are divided among the best-performing groups. New racers are also encouraged to complete a questionnaire for proper ranking, and we offer opportunities to train and improve through our adult Gate Training programs.
If you’re looking to push your skiing to the next level while becoming part of a close-knit community, our ski racing programs and the GDHL offer the perfect opportunity to do just that! Explore our website to learn more and sign up today.
