Memorial Race a GO!!

Just a note to all that the Memorial race is on for tomorrow morning first thing. We are hoping to start by 9:30 to avoid slushy conditions. Grab those old race skis and downhill suits....wait maybe some of you should avoid the downhill suits :) and come on out for some great fun.

We will also be closing the shack up on Sunday so all skis etc must be out by Sunday afternoon as the power is going off for the season. I am hoping if it isn't raining to re-roll some of the fencing either Sunday or next weekend if we still are open for skiing. Please come out and lend a helping hand.

Another glorious late spring day is upon us in late March.....go grab some rays and enjoy the day.

For the Techie in us all

Thanks to Darryl that found this awesome link. This one is for parents, racers, coaches etc that want to understand the how's and why's. It also has some great video footage along with it. It also starts to deal with concepts such as boot fitting, course inspection and variety of other technique oriented questions. Check it out for sure.
