Lander Middle School Invite

First, thanks to all who helped at the Mind Bender.  It is a great way to break our young racers in to ski meets.  Please thank the Medicine Bow Nordic Association for the grooming and Dan Lewis for all his help with timing, set up and dealing with Coach Hamann.

This weeks practices:
 Monday through Thursday: Classic, Classic, Classic, Classic
Lander is a Classic Race!

If you need to make up practices to get your required 10.  Come every day!

Friday is  required for all going to the meet.  We will be in the wax shed prepping our skis. All skis need to be glide waxed, even so called waxless skis. We will be done by 5PM in order to go to bed early to get up early and leave.  If you are not going to the meet you have the day off!

Coach Hamann will be submitting entries to the race on Tuesday evening (January 8, 2019).  Contact her if you are NOT going to be able to go.
