Costume Day - 2 March

We will have Costume Day on Monday, March 2nd.  Skiers (and Coaches) are encouraged to wear a costume.  Pick something that you can ski in, and make sure it will keep you warm enough.  It looks like Monday will be warmer than last week and we might even get some fresh snow this weekend.

The last practice will be March 9th.  We usually have a pot luck dinner after the last practice.  I'm pretty busy, but if a few parents can help organize it, we can make that happen.

2/23 Practice Optional

As always, use your discretion regarding the conditions.  Polar Bears will probably wrap it up by 4:30 today.

Bundle Up!

It's going to be 10 degrees, but feel like minus 5.  Mittens and masks would be a good idea.  Especially on these cold days, it would be really helpful if the Polar Bear Parents could stick around to help keep an eye on the little faces and shuttle groups inside to warm up/use the bathroom.  Last week several skiers made their way inside Krauss unattended.  Nothing bad happened, but it would better if there was an adult present.

Warm weekend

It was too warm to groom this weekend, but I'll get out tonight.  We should have enough snow left, but we don't have any to spare.  The City crew groomed the golf course on Thursday for skating; hopefully some of you got out to enjoy it.  Beware of the thin spots, please do not ski through the tunnel or anywhere that rocks or dirt show through.  Take your skis off and walk around those spots.

Monday will be the third classical practice, so the older groups (Thom's Snow Leopards and Dan's Arctic Explorers) will switch to skating the next time.  These skiers should make sure to put their skis in Dan's car after practice.

Emily has been bringing snacks and also a big jug of water.  If you want some water, bring your own cup or bottle.  Thanks.

Bust out the skis!

We got just enough snow to set some tracks.  It's a little thin in places, but it will work. 
Bring your skis and warm clothes; it will be a little chilly.
