Championship Week

It is so amazing how far this team has come this year.  We are all skiers!  What we could accomplish at the beginning of the year is now a just a warm up! Skiers who were struggling to learn to skate, raced very well this last week!  My babies are all growing up!

So here is the scoop for this last week of the season.  Notice no practice on Friday.  Only 1/2 day of school and all that.

 Last week of the season! 

Monday-Wednesday -We ski as usual.  Skate skis.  Home by 5:30pm

Thursday, (2-14-19) – Ski Prep Day for the Championships (we will be waxing skis and cleaning the equipment shed.)  Done by 5PM. If you are not going to compete in the Championships on 2-16-19 take your gear home.

Friday (2-15-19)  ½ day of school NO PRACTICE .

Middle School Championships.

Cowboy State Games February 9, 2019

This week we get ready for Cowboy State Games.  So we focus on Skating.  If you have only classic skis that is fine you can still ski at practices.

We ski at Happy Jack Monday through Thursday like Normal  --Home at 5:30PM

Friday is a mandatory wax party for all who intend to go to Casper on Saturday.  --when you have waxed and if you have a ride you can go home.  We will all be done by 5PM

Below is the info for our day to Casper.  Notice a few things.  Start time is at 3PM not noon.  This shifts the entire day a bit.  Also LMS will be providing sub sandwiches for all skiers and staff for the ride home.  Please watch for a sign up request to help round out the rest of dinner.

We have only two weeks left in the season.  Keep skiing.  lets finish strong.
