Thanks to all those who made it to practice today. We had 12 skiers out there braving the cold. Try to get out for a ski if you were not able to make it to practice.
Side note: If you are not feeling well, getting sick, etc., it is perfectly acceptable (and a wise decision) to take a day off!
We have two updates:
1: Tomorrow's practice time has been changed to 12noon. That will give everyone a chance to sleep in. We are still meeting at the HS as mentioned in a previous post.
2: We are still working out details for our epic backcountry ski on Saturday. You should use classic skis. If you have a pair of old touring skis, use them. Waxless skis would be great for this. Racing skis would not.
Below I have posted a rough sketch of what we are planning. I will add details (such as times) later.
Jeff and James will be joining us. Jeff has offered to lead us.
