GDHL

GDHL registration MUST be done on the Craigleith website, like previous years.

The GDHL committee has established a website at http://gdhl.org, which provides much more information. Be sure to sign up on the site to receive the GDHL e-mail newsletters, and read old ones on the site.”

For many members of the Club, participating in and training for races has been a great way to make friends (and friendly rivals), improve their skiing or snowboarding and have a great time in the process. The Going Down Hill League , commonly called the GDHL, is Craigleith’s adult racing house league. Racers aged 16 and over are eligible, although most are well over 16 and some are in their 70’s. Although friendly competition runs deep at the GDHL, the league is highly focused on making sure that all are enjoying the experience, that all skiers feel welcome and included in the life of the league and that the combination of coached training and racing offer skiers of all ages and ability an environment focused on improvement and confidence. The league is organized by member volunteers who wish to provide a uniquely inclusive experience based on support, fun, competition and self-improvement while offering conditions to avoid any sense of intimidation for participants who are new or getting back to racing. Ski racing is not without risk but the GDHL is geared to promote friendly competition between participants of similar competence so that everybody can have a safe and enjoyable time.

The league offers a series of weekend races in January and February with individual scoring and (for skiers) team scoring and hosts an opening Calcutta evening and an awards dinner to close the racing season. Racers have a wide range of ages and abilities. The schedule is normally seven races, three giant slaloms, three slaloms, and one super G. Races are normally scheduled to start at either 10:00 am or 1:00 pm on either Saturday or Sunday. Each racer may take two runs in each race, the better of which is counted for the day’s results. The second run is held on the same course, immediately after the first. Each racer’s best four results are counted towards the overall individual and team championships.

Before the season, each racer is ranked in sequence. Number one is normally the previous year’s individual champion. Rankings are based on past results when possible, or on other information available to the GDHL committee. If you are new to the GDHL, please complete the questionnaire that is part of the online registration form to help determine your ranking. Racers are then assigned to teams by the GDHL committee. Teams normally consist of 8 to 12 members, depending on the number of racers participating. Assignments are based on rankings, with the result that each team will have the same average ranking of its members. Some racers, especially those who may be unable to race regularly, prefer not to be assigned to a team. If this is you let us know that you prefer not to be placed on a team by completing the appropriate section on the questionnaire that is part of the online registration form.
