Another great year!

Regulation Capture-the-Flag field

Epic conditions for a rousing game of capture the flag at the last practice.  Thanks for everyone's participation, and all the help from the coaches, groomers and snackers!  I hope you enjoyed the new venue at the golf course. 

If you didn't get your certificate at the pot luck, I took the remainders to Bluedog.  You can pick it up when you return your equipment.  If you did not get a neck wrap, let me know.  There are a few left.  These hats and gloves were left at the VFW:

Thanks for skiing with us this year; looking forward to next year already.

Potluck details

Please bring your owns plates, cups, napkins and utensils.

We will need some parents to arrange and wipe down the picnic tables in the pavilion.  I will get a fire going in the barbeque pit around 3:30pm.  I'll need a volunteer grill master (or two).

The trails should be OK, especially if it gets cold and sets up tonight.  I wasn't able to set tracks because the trail is narrow and the snow is thin.  It should be fun though.

EOY Potluck @ VFW Pavillion!

We will have our last practice at the VFW (across the highway and behind the bakery).  There is enough snow on the trails in the woods.  The kids will ski a little and play some games, then we will have a potluck cook out in the outdoors pavilion from about 5-6pm.

Even if you haven't been at the last few practices, please come on Monday; I'll have some Borah neck wraps and the certificates.  You can bring skier's siblings, too.

Aloha from Viroqua

"Aloha, Mr. Hand."

I hope everyone enjoyed the warm and slushy ski as much as I did.  Hazel is still talking about watching Coach Bryn go "head over tail" into the snow and when his head finally came up, his ears were full of snow.

I'm hoping that it cools off enough that we can pull off one more practice on the 17th.  The pot luck is up in the air.  VFW had another commitment.  If it is warm enough, we could consider grilling some dogs and brats and tailgating in the parking lot?..  Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Find a warm costume for Monday

Monday is Costume Day.  Try to find a warm costume that you can ski in.  The forecast has been up and down, but it will probably be around 10 degrees at practice time.

Also, Monday March 17th will be our final practice.  We usually have a nice potluck dinner afterward.  I don't think the Church basement will really accommodate us.  If you have any ideas for another location in town where we can hold the potluck, please let me know.
