(Girls Race First)Dec. 20th meet Moved to Trollhaugen/Special Note on 6th Grade Skiers

The fun continues at Trollhaugen this week with a change in venue for better snow conditions. We will leave shortly after school and return home about 9pm. We'll have kids call from the bus as we approach school.

This week we want to encourage 6th grade skiers to attend. With the lack of snow, we'd like to let them see what we do and to practice actually skiing.

Girls' Varsity - 6 pm (Mass start OR waves of 1 per school every minute) - ~5km
Boys' Varsity - 6:30 (Mass start OR waves of 1 per school every minute) - ~5km
Girls' JV - 7:00 Mass Start - ~2.5 km
Boys' JV - 7:05 Mass Start - ~2.5 km

All skiers should have the following:
  • warm clothes appropriate for the weather to ski in with additional layers available for watching teammates race.
  • a healthy pre-race meal and snack after skiing.
  • homework for down times
  • proper mindset, for varsity skiers this is a full on race go, go, go. JV skiers should ski fast and improve your fitness and skills. New skiers relax there will be skiers from other teams just like you. learn to get up hills, turn and have fun.

Here's a link to Trollhaugen's Nordic area.
