We’re pleased to be bashing gates and talkin’ smack every Thursday night from January 15 to March 5.We’re hosting in-person registration at the Sitzmark on Thursday, January 8 from 6-8pm. Stop by if you want to recruit team members, try to join an existing team or just want to build stoke for the 2026 series with old friends.
The 49th State Brewing Town League is the most fun you can have on Thursday nights during ski season! This eight-week gate racing league is open to alpine skiers, snowboarders and telemarkers.

You will be assigned a number at the first race. We do not use bibs, so please remember your number and announce it to the timers at the start gate.
