with practice and to ride the bus. See

This
will happen on Tuesday December 11th, at 6 pm, and will be in the
high school cafeteria. It will be put on
by Roger Knight. The parents and athletes
are to supply the food and drink. We
will need volunteers.
Roger
Knight from Boulder Nordic Sport East will be performing a Waxing 101 clinic
for the Freeport ski team. Roger is a native Mainer who grew up in Farmington,
raced at UNH collegiately, and later went on to be a wax technician with Swix
and the US Ski Team at various times. He also was the head of Racing Service
for Swix in the US and Product Manager for five years. He has waxed at World
Championships and the Olympics multiple times.
Currently
Roger operates BNS East in Portland, which is the largest Nordic only shop in
the US when combined with its partner store in Colorado. BNS is the US importer
for SkiGo, Holmenkol, Guru, Magnar, Innovax, and Gallium waxes and provides
year round team pricing to all local schools.

This year’s Holiday Camp will be in
Jackson, NH. We will be staying at the
Dana Place, and skiing at Jackson Touring Center. We will be leaving at 10 am from the High
School on December 26th, and returning on December 28th

cost for each skier will be around $100, which will include all costs.
