Mountain Meisters
Click here for a Message to Meisters from Cranmore President Ben Wilcox
The origin of Mountain Meisters dates back to the early seventies when Cranmore looked at the Meister program as an opportunity to showcase the mountain and let our Valley residents experience the great conditions at a very affordable price. Meisters would head back to work and share their experiences, great conditions and the upcoming events at the in-town mountain with visitors and co-workers.
Today the Meister program hosts 40 plus 12-15 man teams with approximately 550-600 weekly racers. All racers eagerly await the announcement of the annual captain's meeting held mid-November which signifies the launch of the next season. Once the captains’ meeting is held all racers must come to the ticket concourse and to register, sign their waivers and get their pass for the new season. Once registered all racers may ski/ride any Wednesday that Cranmore is open except for vacation periods. Signing up early and getting your pass will allow all racers to enjoy of the benefits that the Meister pass offers to include discounts at local participating Meister partners throughout the Valley.
The racing begins on the first Wednesday of the first week of the year for 11 weeks, except February vacation week. Each team and individual accumulates place points over the ten week race series looking to win and earn bragging rights for the year. There are many individual and team awards that everyone strives for to include Division winners, fastest racers (Hot Jocks) and of course the Best Team Award! It is a great day on the mountain with friends, weekly raffles, friendly competition and après ski in Zip's Pub. Not to mention getting out of work early!
Interested folks do not have to have any previous racing skills to race with the Mountain Meisters! Even if you do not have a team you can still go to the mountain and register and we will place you on a team! It’s a great reason to get out and ski/ride and you certainly cannot beat the cost at less than $9.00 per day or less Mountain Meister Racing is the best ski deal in the USA!
