After the race and awards-  Team Photo, change into pajamas to ride home. The bus driver will be the judge for the best and most awesome PJs, slippers  welcome.  Around 2PM, pizza at Pizza Hut in Lander (thank you Mr. Stender!)  

We will be collecting team ”uniform “ shirts before you get off the bus.

Prediction time back?  Before Sunday.

Please bring with you:  Skis, Boots, Poles, Ski Clothes, PJs , pillow or small blanket, water or liquid ( no soda before the race) , snacks,  no more than $10, shoes besides slippers.  (Pizza Hut might not allow slippers, PJs have been oked), and something to do while traveling. (sleeping is always an option)

Leftover snacks from previous races will be on the bus for all. Again it would be nice to have a breakfast organized for the trip.  ( I have enough bagels for all, and 18 yogurt sticks, need cream cheese, fruit and drinks.) Anyone willing to take this on would be appreciated.  

Personally I want to say thank you for a great season!   We accomplished way more than we thought possible.  If you rented skis you have them till the snow melts!  Use them the trails will be there!

Keep an eye on emails and Face Book this summer.  There are rumors of TNT game nights being organized.
