Hailey's Rotarun Ski Area is open for business in 2009—four days a week including two evenings of night skiing.
Families will head to the hill three miles west of Hailey on Saturday, Jan. 17 for the annual Arkoosh Cup giant slalom sponsored by Rotarun Ski Club for kids 12-and-under.
Registration is Saturday from 9-10 a.m. at Rotarun with racing at 11 a.m. Age classes in both Ski Team and Non-Ski Team categories are 11-12, 9-10, 7-8, 5-6 and 4-and-under. Entry fee of $15 includes a lift ticket.
