Upcoming Races and March Break

As mentioned before Training will continue this weekend and there will be a three day camp on Tues/Wed/Thurs of March Break. If you are available or planning to train please let Michele know asap. michl@nb.sympatico.ca

I am also trying to find out who is interested or planning on attending Amqui Classic at the end of March. Deadline is coming up and accommodations are hard to find so please let Cynthia know your interest in this race and also Marissa Soicher as she is trying to find accommodations and needs confirmed numbers. We send our entries through NB Alpine for this event so please try to have a decision by the end of March Break. I will also need numbers by Tuesday March 13th for Poley K1/Entry End of year races. Please forward that information to me as usual.

For all those of you travelling South, Skiing or Training have a great March Break and a well deserved rest. I will see you all after March Break.

Missing Hoodie

Ariana is missing her Mars hoody she got in Edmunston. It was missing from the race shack the day of the pot luck and hasn’t been seen since. Her name is in red on the right inside. It is XXSmall. Someone must have it and they just don’t realize it. If everyone could check there houses, ski bags etc to see if you can find it we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
Rien.

Atlantic Cup Results

Thought some people might be interested in how "Team NB" did on the rock. Looks as though Remi received three golds and one bronze, Sebastian received 2 silvers and Henrik pulled off a bronze in slalom. According to Tim the three guys managed to accrue 550 points toward winning the Altantic Cup - which was won by NFLD with a total of 620. They had a full team...wow great work gang.

All hands on Deck

Notice to all parents that are available we will be meeting at the Race Shack at 1:00pm on Sunday to start putting up fencing for the SG training week and races.

Note: All can help, even holding the fence while others drill it in or place it will be useful. Please don't feel you can't help this will be a long afternoon and we will need all the help we can get.

Thanks
Rien.

Training Cancelled

Sorry for the late notice but just to remind people that training was cancelled earlier tonight due to the poor weather. Racers should be at Wentworth and on the hill by 7:45 a.m. on Saturday. The coaches will contact parents and racers at the three hotels if plans change.

K1 Race Training will be as normal on the weekend.

I will be doing some fence repair if the weather is good on Saturday.

Also I need to get ideas from parents the number of athletes that plan on attnending March break training on the weekends before and after March break and also around during the week.

Please let the coaches know asap, so I can arrange coaching staff over the break.

Notice to all RACERS...Important

Hello,
A friendly reminder to all racers (parents & coaches) to wear their season passes at all times while on the mountain. We have been cracking down on violations of all customers. We are going to make all racers walk to the lodge to get their passes from now to the end of the season.
Racers were recently caught training without their passes. This is a notice that it is your responsibility and if you miss training because of this issue do not complain....please put your passes on your helmets.

Repeat offenders will not be allowed back on the mountain the day of their second offense.
Please post this warning in the race hut and make sure all racers understand.
Thank you very much,
