Dear Friends, racers, riders and skiers,

In early November Jeff "Biff" Beinhaur was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. They hope you will be present to celebrate the days ahead with them and continue to build joyful memories.

Jeff has been a fixture at Roundtop Racing (30 years) not only coaching the young, but giving us old hacks like myself a great race venue not only hosting NASTAR, but other club races. Of course I know most came for the Beer afterwards.

If you ski, ride, or race, come join us for a great day of fun. You can of course donate : IRACEFORBIFF

On JAN 5, 2013 @ Roundtop there will be a race to benefit BIFF, Jeff Beinhaur.

i rode all weekend and got to experience the broken lift (what a joy that was). should have good conditions as long as mr hawkes agrees to make a little more snow than they have been.

The Race was attended by 201 racers. I would say a record for around these parts. Raised over 11k for BIFF. Next Race to benefit jeff is the ASRA race a GS and s Slalom.

Jan 26 2013 Roundtop, PA - 9:00 inspection, 9:45 Start 2-run GS in AM, 2-run SL afterward

Race usually run from the top of exhibition.

Finsout, that is why you need to check the conditions. new gear box is in. For riders I bet it sucked. esp for the ones 50% who never wax. why not divert to liberty ??

Not a huge fan of Liberty. I wax but needed to again after 'snow' path in front of ski patrol.
