Campgaw Mountain Racing

Campgaw Mountain is proud to announce the return of racing! Our goal is to provide a safe and fun learning environment where racers of any age and ability may reach their full potential as skiers and riders. At the same time, participants will gain confidence, self-esteem, and the ability to safely ski on just about any slope with style. We will be offering three different types of race programs this season: race training, a race development team, and a full race team.
