2013 RPP Challenge Cup Champion and Results

The 40th Annual Red Parka Pub Challenge Cup was held on Friday, March 15 at Attitash Mountain Resort. There were 117 racers that participated in today’s event, which is the longest running pro-style dual GS in the United States. Proceeds from today’s event benefit the Eastern Slope Ski Club, a Mt. Washington Valley-based non-profit organization that funds grade school skiers in the Mt. Washington Valley.

“This year’s race brought in more racers than we’ve seen in several years,” said Terry O’Brien, owner of the Red Parka Pub and event organizer.

All racers get two runs for the qualifying round, which is held in the morning. The top 32 racers square off in the afternoon, with several categories of winners, based on division. Division A competes to be crowned the official champion of the Red Parka Pub Challenge Cup.

Attitash Race League and Cranmore Meisters to Set Challenge Cup Practice Courses

Posted on March 3, 2013 by

Two area ski racing leagues will be setting practice courses this week for the 40th Annual Red Parka Pub Challenge Cup scheduled for Friday, March 15.

Participants in the Attitash Race League will have the opportunity to go head-to-head in a dual course this week on Spillway at Attitash Mountain Resort. This is the same course that is used for the Red Parka Pub Challenge Cup, so it’s a great way for racers to get a feel for the course. The course will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5.

Participants in Cranmore Mountain Meisters can go head-to-head on a course separate from the NASTAR course where regular runs are timed at this Wednesday race league. This separate course will be available and open to anyone and will feature a pro bump, providing excellent practice for the Challenge Cup. The fastest male and female of the day, who have never raced in the Challenge Cup, will get 1/2-off of the entry fee for the Challenge Cup. The course at Cranmore will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 6.
