Nordic skiers,
We are looking forward to a great 2013-14 Simley Nordic Ski season! Glad you are able to join us on this year's adventure.
Important dates:
Monday, Oct. 28th at 3pm-Captain’s practice begins. Meet by the doors near the high school locker rooms. (Even if you can’t make it to captain’s practice, start running!)
Monday, Nov. 11th at 3pm-Practice begins. Meet outside the ski room. Come ready to run outside-prepared for the weather. Layers are key. No jeans.
Every athlete must have a current physical, signed by your doctor, on file. If you don’t know if your physical is up to date, call the activities office. You will not be allowed to practice without an updated physical.
It is not too early to start thinking about equipment. There will again be skis and bindings available to new skiers, but you will still need to purchase or borrow boots and poles. The boots need to be compatible with SNS bindings. Returning skiers should already have or strongly consider buying their own equipment. Here are some recommended places to shop for equipment:
