Hey everyone,


Sorry for the minor debacle that was our complete failure to set up practice last week. The bad news is that it carried over a little into this week, so we don't have any leaders available for tomorrow either. HOWEVER, the good news is that we will actually be skiing on Thursday and Friday! We'll be skiing at Green's this week , since their snow has held up better than Oak Hill's thus far. Green's is about half an hour from campus and the trails are free to use,

but we may stop at Oak Hill  on the way to pick up rentals if people need them.


Since it's been a while and a bunch of people recently joined the listserv, a few reminders about practice:

1) The van leaves from behind Robo at 2 and will get back at 5 at the latest, depending on how people are feeling

2) You need to be a DOC member to come to practice, but being a DOC member is a great idea in general and they offer financial aid, so hopefully this isn't a problem for anyone. Also, if you're not already a member, please take care of that before coming to practice so as not to hold everyone up.

3) If you don't have equipment, no worries! The club has a nifty deal with Oak Hill which includes free rentals, 3 $5 day passes, and the option to buy a heavily subsidized season pass once you've used the 3 passes.

4) Sign up for practice here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cVDvwz2z65fTa7-BxZY9WFNYhN3yXX8WSWIel60NtGk/edit#gid=0

Please try to sign up before practice -- it makes our lives a lot easier and gets everyone skiing sooner!


Finally, there is another racing opportunity this weekend. It's a long race (10-16k), and an even longer drive (all the way to Lake Placid), but not as long as this blitz (already way too long, sorry about that). On the other hand, we had a great time at this race last year. Highlights include: an Olympic-caliber race course, possibly having free lodging this year, and the possibility of being served by the psychic waiter we met last year. If you're interested, write your name in on the sign up sheet and we'll get planning in earnest.


Yours in Nordiness,

The Captains
