US Ski Team
Day
This Saturday, February 11th, Snowbasin will be hosting a GS
race on City Hill with all proceeds going to the US Ski Team as they strive
toward their goal of being "The Best in the World". I know that several of us
will be unable to attend to due conflicting races, but for our Devo Team members
this is a great opportunity to support Snowbasin and The US Ski Team. The race
will start at 10:00. There is a $5.00 Entry Fee due at the start. Then, awards
will be at 3:00 in the main plaza. See below for more
info.
Additional Training Coach Jay Sawyer will be
leading our Jr. Varsity and Varsity members, who are able to attend training
this Friday afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00, through a SL progression to build
confidence and acquire correct blocking technique. Any JV and Varsity members
who want a little extra training before this weekends race at Park City should
be there. Cost will be $20 to those who attend. I would like to thank Jay for
taking this extra step to assure our athletes are prepared.
Team
Center
The United Kingdom Ski Group starts on Friday. Please
continue to show these guest the same respect that you have shown to our
visiting athletes over the last two weekends. There will be people in and out of
the Team Center all day long, please keep your personal belongs secured. There
will be several groups during the month, ending on February 26th. Everyone needs
to use the upstairs.
