Wednesday Night Training Canceled

Due to the weather forecast and the low numbers thinking of attending there will be no training tonight at Crabbe. Ther will be no training next week during speed camp either.

Thanks Rien

Wednesday Night Heads UP

Please keep an eye on the Weather for Wednesday night. If it is raining we will not be running training on Wednesday. IF it is very warm and has rained in the day please plan to do GS as the ruts are less difficult to deal with.

Thanks

Training Schedule this weekend

Due to the conditions and other factors:

Saturday Slalom Training - Horn/Flume for Entry K1
Sunday GS Horn

Most training will be done from the Coffin down as snow may now be an issue but we will move up the hill if there is enough snow that can hold gates.

March Break Camp / Races etc

Just an FYI if you haven't looked at the schedules and are planning on March Break trips around. Over the March Break there are two races on the second weekend (March 8-9) At the moment the K1's are scheduled to travel to PEI for a race and the K2's are scheduled to travel to Farlagne for a race (may change to K2-J2 with recent cancellation but will keep you posted).

Please try to let me know if you know that you will be away and not availble for training on

March 1-2

March 3-7 (looking for dates for a camp)

One Pair of 178cm GS Salomon GC Skies and bindings. Used two seasons with moderate use. Still in great condition. Regular $1100 on sale now for $350.00 to get them out of my house.

Let me know, Rien

Use of Mouth Guard

CMRC is now suggesting to all parents and athletes that athletes wear a mouth guard for training and for all races. Research suggests that the use of this equipment greatly reduces the chances of concusion from impact related falls. In the near future CMRC will be moving to mandatory use of these but wanted to allow time for athletes to try options.

Option one : Boil and bite (available at most Sport Stores)
Optino Two: Dental Prepared (more expensive but better fit and breathing).

Suit Order

Suits are available for a re-order. Sizes available immediately are 8-10 and 12 (small sizes) and may be able to trade with someone who wants a smaller size. Check around club. IF you want to order larger they will make them, cost slightly more $280.00 instead of $200.00 and will take about 4-6 weeks but I think they make the team look great and would really like to have all in the suits.....
