Chase with a big smile skiing up Ozbaldy Saturday

Wednesday Elk Heights Skating 3:45-5:00. Meet at EHS at 3:20 for rides (or Elk Heights at 3:45).  Rides return to EHS at 5:30.  We will shuttle kids past the road section to the start of the grooming.  Groomer worked on Elk Heights Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
We're going to try something different- we scouted it out  last week and it was excellent.  It's a snowmobile snopark, but it is not heavily used on weekdays.  Drive Manastash Road until it ends at a snowpark- 13 miles from town.  There are lots of folks driving- so parents please email me if your child needs a ride.  Rides will return to town between 5:30-5:45.

Spokane Weekend.  Gavin, Isak, Julia and Uhuru are racing in Spokane.  Wish them well.  No practice with Carey and Jeff this weekend, but we encourage the rest of you to take advantage of the great snow and ski your hearts out this three day weekend.

For older skiers: Thursday Afternoon: Mineral Springs.  Please RSVP.

Looking ahead: February 21st is the Jente Loppet.  They have races for women and all youth under 18 (with options for 2, 4, and 8 km).  It's a fun course at the Hyak sno-park.  Lots of Ellensburg skiers have done the race and enjoyed it in past years.
