January 14, 2107 
Pole Mountain Mind Bender
Laramie, WY
Start Time; Noon

This is a race put on by the Medicine Bow Nordic Association/JR High Team
We need parent help (10-14 people)  on the course, timing, registering and being a little devious.   Let Coach Hamann Know if you can help out.  The ability to ski is not required!

All LJHS SKIERS are encouraged to ski.

Week 3 Practices

First Week on Snow COLD but successful.

Our goal is to not only ski trails but to learn to ski efficiently.  Skiing with good technique makes the trails easier to handle and more fun.

Last Friday we learned how to glide wax our skis.  All skis no matter what type benefit from hot waxing.  1) it helps our skis glide.  2) protects the bottoms of our skis form daily wear. This is not the same as kick waxing.  Kick wax or grip wax is done at the ski trail to allow for those of us nor skiing on fish scale  or wax less skis to get up hills.

As of last Friday the  following skiers are missing vital items in their file with the LJHS office.  They will not be able to practice until these are up to date.  We as coaches will ask them to call parents and go home if they do show up to practice.  Please take a day and get these vital items taken care of. We will assume if you are missing everything that you are not a member of this team.  (This was the list on Friday before practice, you have have taken care of things all ready.)

Team Organization and First Practices

Wow! Wednesday evening, we were completely blown away by the interest in the Scout Nordic Team! 

This coaching staff is humbled and excited to have the potential of so many young skiers!

As of Friday November 18, 2016, there are 81 kids signed up to join the team.  Yeow! 

_______________________________________________________________________________

  

In order to provide equal and fair opportunities to all skiers, the coaching staff has decided to arrange the team this way for this 2016-17 season.

****2 teams equal across the board.   (No difference between teams, plans and workouts will be the same for both, ability and interest groups will be decided and skiers will ski in their groups on their assigned ski days.)

****Skiers will be asked to commit to either M/W/F or T/TH/F  

**** We will ski at Happy Jack either M/W or T/TH  (Leave LJHS at 3:30PM back by 5:30PM)

**** Fridays will be practice in town (3:30PM to 5PM)

Parents and/or skiers please email Coach Hamann with your preference of practice days, or you will be assigned days.  (Chamann63@gmail.com)

________________________________________________________________________________

December 1 and 2 practice at LJHS for all!  (3:30pm to 5PM, meet in LJHS Cafeteria) We will be outside, dress for the weather!  Bring your equipment even if no snow! We will be carding and finding wax pockets, scraping storage wax off skis and learning how to apply kick wax and hopefully skiing in the park. No snow we run!

Coach Hamann will be at LJHS at the equipment shed by the football field at 7:45AM until school starts to put skis away!

     Team B) Will concentrate on Classic Skiing.  Only one pair of skis needed.

Highly Suggested!  Ski bag that holds all your skis, and poles.

   Check with Cross Country Connection our local outlet for equipment for rentals.   Bindings on skis are not universal fit. Make sure your boots are the right system for your skis. Try them in the store before getting them to the trails.

Put your name on all your equipment!

2.   Winter clothing

      A quick lesson in how to dress for success...

       - layers, layers, layers... Bottom layer of wicking (Under Armor, Columbia, Mountain Hardware, etc. ) long underwear, tops and bottoms. Ski tights or lightweight fleece pants, lightweight fleece top, wind pants and jacket.  Reserve the heavy jacket for the bus.  Hat and gloves. Cotton sweat pants and sweat shirts, jeans etc. soak up water and do not dry. They are not safe in cold conditions. Cotton kills.  Show up to practice in these and you will not be allowed off the bus.

This past weekend, 18 of our team ran the Laramie Area Special Olympic Winter Games.  Everything from measuring the course, timing, sweeping and if needed competing with and athlete was done by members of the LJHS Nordic Team.  This was the smoothest run games that I have been associated with in years.  Skiers, parents, Coach (Me) and LJHS should be really proud of this.  One State Official that came to observe the games, asked me if I could bring the same batch of volunteers to Cheyenne this Spring to help with their area games!  Well done all!

Instead it is Laramie Special Olympic Time Trials!

Laramie Special Olympic Team consisting of 18 athletes competing in Snowshoe and Nordic Skiing will be competing to get times for  their Winter State Games.

I have asked the LJHS team to help with this event.  We will, time, officiate, ski or run next to athletes.  

This is totally optional.  It is a great way to give back to the community.

Any LJHS Team member is welcome to help.  Payment will be a free victory lunch at Boomers BBQ with the team after the time trial.

Bus leaves at 8:45  we should be finished with lunch at 1PM

Dress warm.  Parents if you want to help you are welcome!

Let Coach Hamann know.  (I have to order lunches!)

THERE IS NO RACE PLANNED FOR LJHS SKIERS ON THIS DAY. 

Next race in Casper on February 4, 2016

If you missed it. Here is an article that came out in the Boomerang. A coach is only a coach if there is a team.  

_________________________________________________________________________________

Lander Invitational was a huge success!  Parents and skiers you should be very proud.  The results were posted on the High Plains website.  www.highplainsnordic.org.

Not only were the skiers great racers they showed some real character on the way home.  Bad driving conditions and traffic jams made for very challenging times.  Your young skiers were troopers!  Hopefully all travels from now on are smooth sailing!

Please thank the Transportation Department for ACSD1.  As soon as contact was made and our situation was known there were plans being made here in Laramie to get our team home safe.

A Few Words On Waxing

 We hot wax before competitions for a few reasons. 1) To smooth out the minor  scratches we might have put in our skis during practice. Capture the Flag can be brutal to skis as well as coaches! 2) Wax is temperature and snow characteristic variable. We are making our skis ready for the conditions we  probably will encounter on the trails. 3) Skis dry with use and need to be taken care of. 4) There is real pride in taking care of our own equipment.

It is truly the skiers choice to hot wax.  All skis can benefit even those labeled non wax.  Races are won or lost in upper level competitions because of ski wax.  If you want a faster ski come and wax!

___________________________________________________________________________________

Next event : January 30, 2016 at Happy Jack

Special Olympic Area Games

9AM to Noon

Laramie is hosting Area Games for Special Olympics.  This includes many distances in Nordic Skiing and Snow Shoeing.

Coach Hamann has offered up the LJHS Nordic Team as race officials.   It is up to us to run the races! We will need timers, course marshals, and volunteers to be on the course to point directions and cheer. These things any member of the team can do.

This is not a ski event for our team but a chance to give back to the community some of what we have learned this year. I will be asking for LJHS skiers to sigh up to help. Parents are welcome to volunteer also.

  

Those that do help out will end the morning a Boomers BBQ for Lunch!

LJHS Nordic will be represented by 3 team members.
