HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Snow is in the forecast and I am super stoked for the upcoming week. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break and found time to lay down some tracks.
Our first race of the season is this Friday, January 8th at 5 pm at Mount Peter. We will be training slalom all week, which means racers will need to mount chin guards to their hard eared helmets.
We will be at three different mountains this week and we will depart the SHS at different times. Plan on being at the SHS the following times:
- 5:05 pm Mon Jan 4th - Winter 4 Kids. Submit W4K Daily Covid Form
- 2:50 pm Tue Jan 5th - Mountain Creek. Racers will need a lift ticket, triple play, or season pass.
- 2:20 pm Wed, Thur & Fri Jan 6-8th - Mount Peter.
Meals will be provided at Monday's practice when we are at W4K. Bring a snack and drinks for the remainder of the week.
I will be handing out Sparta speed suits at Tuesday's practice. Speed suits are only to be worn on race days and must be returned cleaned and in the same condition at the end of the season. Do not remove safety pads! Damaged or lost race suits will be subject to a fee. Try on the speed suit when you get home and should you need a different size let me know before the next practice.
Race skis should be tuned and waxed weekly.
I will be offering Overnight Wax & Tune ski services to all our racers and family members from January through March. This service is available on a first-come-first-serve basis. To schedule a service, send me a text via Remind or let me know at practice. I will take your skis with me after practice and return them the next day hand-tuned to perfection and ready to race. Note: Due to high demand, this service is only available to varsity racers the night before a race. Click here for more details on Coaches Overnight Wax & Tune Services or make arrangements with your local ski shop. Keep your skis freshly waxed and tuned, and you are bound to ski faster!
FYI: Due to Covid-19, spectators are NOT permitted at races. Check out Live Timing for live race results.
