December 18-25, 2023


FROST skiing is SO much better than nothing!!! A huge thank you to Andre who is has been working to get us on snow! We're going to be on snow 3x this week!! We do not ski on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, but we ski throughout the holidays- please check the blog. Pay attention to ALL of the changes please!!

________________________

TIME CHANGE: 5:45-7:15PM from here on in. Please recognize that it takes 15-25min to get onto your skis with skis waxed and dressed appropriately. LOTS of athletes are coming not wearing appropriate gear for practice. If you get stuff from the coaches during practice- please bring warmer mitts, a buff or two and a toque!!!

________________________

Waiver: All athletes will have a waiver to fill out prior to Wednesday- keep an eye on your emails and TeamSnap please.

Tuesday: Flyingshot lake- on snow skiing- rock skis, bring your own if you have some- otherwise, bring your boots and poles, headlamps & water. We will meet at the mailboxes for safer parking and walk in the ditch back towards the creek. REMINDER- time change!

Wednesday: Nighthawk downhill ski park- on snow skiing- classic workout, no rick skis needed, three layers of blue wax corked in. Bring your waiver! We will be off snow for 7:30 as this practice will take us longer to get out on snow etc.
