FAQs:

What time do we have to get to The Remarkables?

• 11AM arrival at our First Base Après Stage up the top of The Remarkables, for a 12PM kick-off! Aim to arrive to The Remarks by 10:30AM to be safe. It can take a while to get up the moutain from town on the bus, so be sure to plan ahead and give yourself loads of time. This is one thing you don't want to be late for!

How does it work logistically? Won't I get cold?

• Fear not - it's only one run down a gentle blue slope. Starting from the First Base Après Stage (Ice Bar) to The Remarkables base building. Fingers crossed for a sunny spring bluebird day!
• You will receive a Snow Machine string bag upon check in, but we also recommend bringing a backpack for your ski jacket/pants. You are required to wear your ski gear up the chairlifts, and strip down at the First Base Après Stage.
• You are required to ski down with your jacket/pants in your backpack or Snow Machine bag. 
• You'll be in your swimwear for a minimum 15 minutes. You can always pop into the base building to warm up at the end if needed.

Is it a race?

• No it's certainly NOT a race. In fact, we encourage you to ski/board down as slowly as possible to make it more fun and to help avoid any injuries.
• This will be a lot of fun and over before we know it. Slow down, enjoy the ride and interact with your fellow history makers!

Is it a party?

• You bet it is! We will have artists warming you up at the First Base stage en-piste. Plus food & drinks available for purchase before & after the event.
• When you complete the run, our Diamond Deck Après Stage at the base building will be pumping. Slide on in, grab a mulled wine and celebrate your incredible accomplishment! 

What if I fall?

• It will happen to some of you. Mountain ski patrol will be shadowing us and helping anyone that gets a bit of ice burn from falling over.
• We recommend not to be silly to ensure you stay upright for the duration. Remember: butts on bare snow leave bruises and burns! 
• All competitors must complete a health and safety waiver before competing. No signed waiver, no bare run.

What do I wear?

• Whatever you feel the most comfortable and look the most fabulous in. Have some fun with it. There will be prizes for the best looks. 
• Google spring swimsuit skiing for inspiration. Our only rule is: enjoy yourselves and be inclusive and kind to all.
