Reminders!

All skiers need to remember to bring a change of clothes (especially a warm, dry top), a snack, and water for after practice. The bus (or car) ride back from Pineland can be long and cold. Changing out of wet clothes and refueling is the best way to make sure that you do not get sick!!!

All skiers attending the holiday camp should get their checks in ASAP! Checks can be given to any of the coaches.

"Hands on" wax clinic at LL Bean

Wednesday December 11 at 7 pm LL Bean is hosting a hands-on waxing clinic. Bring your skis and learn how to wax as you work on your own skis.
Located at the L.L. Bean Bike/Boat/Ski store on Main St.

Skiing this Week??!!

Winter is here! :)
All skiers should be prepared to ski at any of the practices from now on.
Possibility of skiing Wednesday.

Wax your skis and start leaving them at the school wax room just in case we get a bus and there is skiing somewhere, may not be Pineland.
Have your classic skis ready as it may be enough to glide over the snow classic style but not enough to skate.

If you have "rock skis" please use those for the first few ski practices till we see how well conditions are.

You do not want to miss a practice just because your skis are not ready.
