Race Cancellation Guidelines

PLEASE REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND THE MWM CANCELLATION GUIDELINES:

Q: How do I know if a Race is cancelled?
A: Do not count on the "grapevine" to determine if a Race is cancelled. Whether or not a Race is cancelled is determined by the Race Director. The following guidelines are used to help determine a Cancellation:
1) -25 Wind Chill Factor
2) The host ski area closes, or the lift servicing our run is closed or the run is inacessible.
3) Travel conditions are severely dangerous. We will not be cancelling simply because people may be late due to the road conditions. PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE ACCORDINGLY.
Again, remember that THE FINAL DECISION TO CANCEL IS UP TO THE RACE DIRECTOR, and IT IS THE MEMBER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND OUT IF A RACE IS CANCELLED as it is not always possible to get the web site updated or get a mass e-mail out in a timely fashion. If you are unsure, contact the Race Director directly. The Race Director's contact information is posted on the "Contact Us" page of the web site. The Race Director will respond promptly in the event of a cancellation or threat of cancellation. The MWM Board will make every effort to get an e-mail out and/or update the web site, but there is no guarantee that this will happen in a timely fashion. These Guidelines are listed in the Race Series Rules document. See the Membership page or speak to the Race Director to see this document. All Cancelled Races will be rescheduled.
