December 16-20 Practice Schedule

WOW! What a great first official week of practice for this team!  Every time we get on the bus there are more skiers.  27 joined us for Wednesday practice.  Parents, you should be really proud of your kids.  They are responsible, kind, good workers and a joy to be around.  I am looking forward to a really great rest of the season.
