Jan 4 & 8

Hello Skiers!

Winter is here!  We are officially starting this week, with "Rec" Skiing Wednesday & Sunday and our racers heading to Bend this weekend.  The groomer is getting Elk Heights ready for us this week, so we are going to head there Wednesday.

Wednesday: CLASSIC*Manastash SnoPark (Updated 1/4, 9AM).  Meet at EHS 3:15 to carpool, will return to EHS 5:30.  Or families can provide their own transportation.  *Directions: Drive Manastash road until the end (about 7 miles from Cove.)  Park on the South side of the road in the designated Snopark area.

For those attending EHS, you can leave skis and clothes in my prep room during the day.  Bring them by before school, or if you are feeling ambitious, throw skis into my roof rack (just make sure you've got the right car..) Ask Uhuru, Audrey, or Isak for help.  I recommend leaving ski clothes and boots inside, so they are warm when you put them on.  We will try to roll out of EHS at 3:20, so we can ski from 3:50-5:00, and return to town at 5:30.

Manastash was BEAUTIFUL this afternoon!

Sunday: CLASSIC* Cabin Creek 10AM-noon.  Possible meet at Thorp (South side of interchange 9AM for carpool).  *Directions: Drive I-90 to Exit 63, park on South side, walk back to north side of freeway to ski area.

OPTIONAL SKI FOR OLDER GROUP: TUESDAY Manastash SKATING Depart EHS 3:20, return 5:30.  Bring headlamp and RSVP.

BEND JNQ: Be sure to register at MBSEF site.  More info about the races here.  We will depart Friday from EHS- possibly in time for a short ski Friday afternoon.

Washington Cup Series: Jeff and Carey have been involved in planning the Washington Cup series of races in collaboration with other teams in the state.    These are "low key" races that are open to anyone.  Check out the site for more information.

NOTE FOR FIRST TIMERS:  Classic skis are the ones with the pattern on the base.

Finally, bundle up- it will be cold this week!
