Dan Costigan

Friday, Aug 20, Dan Costigan died at Beaumont Hospital in Troy of cardiac arrest. As most of you know, Dan was the MACC Director of Course Setting, a long-time racer, and an overall great guy. He was also an enthusiastic and effective High School coach (coach of the year in 2006!) as reported in both major Detroit newspapers Monday Aug 23. Here is the Free Detroit Press story, and here is the Detroit News story.

MACC Racing: Who We Are

The Michigan Alpine Competition Council (MACC) is a non-profit organization made of amateur ski racers who work as volunteers to run the main Alpine ski racing program for adults in the Michigan region.

Our race series covers 12 races over five weekends each year at Boyne Mountain and at Searchmont. It's open to virtually all adult recreational racers and also 15, 16, and 17-year old children of MACC racers.

You race in a class based on ability and gender. Ability groups with lots of racers are further divided by age. Most races are FIS slalom and giant slalom. However, we also have a genuine super-G and a super-combined fun race at the end of the season.

Please see the Program and Join sections for more information.
