EQUIPMENT-BIBS-LIFT TICKETS Equipment – Helmets with hard sides are required for all on-snow training and competition. Each athlete is responsible for providing appropriate ski equipment and clothing. Arrowhead provides gates, drills, timing, radios and other equipment needed for practices and races. Bibs and Lift Tickets – A race bib will be assigned to each racer. Bibs are handed out prior to each race and RETURNED after the event. Lift tickets are purchased by the team, so it is very important for racers to be on time so we know exactly how many tickets to purchase. Racers who arrive after 5:30 will be responsible for purchasing their own lift ticket.
