Join Us for the 2025 Mountain Town Classic!

Bridge=>Join Us for the 2025 Mountain Town Classic!
On Saturday, March 8, 2025, the Mt. Pleasant Figure Skating Club will be hosting the  annual Mountain Town Classic Competition.  The event, a part of the Michigan Basic Skills Series, will play host to competitors from all over the state. Skaters will compete in various events, including Basic Skills Elements, Compulsory, Free Skate programs to music, Showcase events, Dance and more.
This event is a great opportunity for skaters to try competing in an environment that is familiar and comfortable for them and as a bonus every competitor receives a medal corresponding to their final placement in a special ceremony after their event has concluded.
All Learn to Skate USA Skaters are eligible and encouraged to compete at this event!

At the competition, the Basic Skills Element Events are very similar to one of our evaluation sessions so, the format is very familiar for the skaters. Each skater in the group or flight will be asked to perform the elements learned at that level one at a time. While the skater is performing the elements there will be judges assessing their skills and assigning them scores based on how well the skills were completed.  The scores will then be calculated and final placements awarded.  Once the results are posted an awards ceremony will take place and medals will be awarded.  This is a great time for pictures!

The cost of the competition for MPFSC skaters competing is $50 for the first event and $20 for any additional events. Most of the skaters who are participating in our Learn to Skate Program would sign up for just the Element event. Those who are in the Junior Club or MPFSC Club programs and working with a private coach, could choose to do additional events.

EZ-Registration forms are available now at the Learn to Skate Cart.  The deadline for skaters to register is Saturday, February 22nd, but we encourage you to complete the forms as soon as possible. Online registration is also available on Sk8Stuff.com.  Late Registration may be possible with approval from the competition chair.

Schedules for the event will not be available until approximately one week prior to the competition, so we cannot confirm a specific competition time for your skater just yet. Our best suggestion is to plan for the event to occur sometime between 8 am – 5 pm on March 8th.  Schedules will be available at the rink and at sk8stuff.com as soon as they are available. Skaters will need to arrive 1 hr prior to their time slot to register and prepare to take the ice. Events can move faster or slower than expected, so it’s important to be ready in advance.  This event is free and open to the public as well, so be sure to invite your friends and family to attend!

We hope you and your skater will join us for the Mountain Classic!
