NW Cup 2017- A Decade of Downhill
The NW Cup turns 10 this year and continues to be the Premier Downhill Race Series in the country. 2017 features 5 race venues, over a 7 race series, all spanning The Great Pacific Northwest! Also, last year we created a few categories for the groms that were so well received, we are going to do the same for the ever-expanding women's categories.
