May 4-6 2000 Mt. Hood, Oregon - USA
Managed by John Zevely

130-135 mph (217 kph) possible this year!  With a world of possibilities in future, but we would have to poach a run in from the wilderness area to get more than 2500 vertical.

If you want some of the old days back where speed skiing was a sport of friends trying to overcome their fear, and push the limits in a fun venue, then come to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood during the first week of May 2000.  This is a truly fun relaxed race.

You can get your speed fix and have fun while doing it.  Just the chance to set a US record and for some of you, personal bests.
