Hi All, This Saturday we will have our Scavenger Hunt, we haven’t done it in a couple of years and we are excited to be scavenging about the mountain on Saturday morning. So, be prepared and study your trail maps between now and Saturday morning. The plan is to meet on Saturday morning at the Sugar House at 9 am, teams will then head out on the mountain with their clues and try to solve the riddle. All groups will return to the Sugar House at 11 am and we will determine the winner of the hunt. We’ll meet again at noon for the afternoon session of training.

Also, most of you have joined OMARA. OMARA is our ski club and your annual dues support social events (ie parent info meeting in Dec), scholarships for athlete travel, race equipment, and many other things. OMARA is in the process of raising funds to build a clubhouse on the mountain which would be available for all members to enjoy and utilize. Saturday morning there will be a brief informational meeting downstairs in the Sugar House at 9 am for those who are interested in learning more about this project. The Clubhouse would be a great addition to our OMARA community and we’d love to get the word out to our youngest and largest group. Please join us for a short meeting this  Saturday morning after you have dropped the kids off with their groups.

Finally, our last race and final Hopeful session of the season will be on Saturday, March 17th. We will be racing on Wardance that day, followed by a pizza party at the base area of Wardance. It is always a fun event and we look forward to everyone participating that day, we will also have the opportunity for kids to race their parents at the conclusion of our official race. We hope you can join us for the final celebration!

See you on Saturday

Pam, Jim and the Hopeful Coaches

For those J1/2/3, Devo, or Council athletes who are training at Okemo on Sunday, March 11, 2012-13 race skis will be available to demo from Nordica, Atomic, and Volkl. 

The J1/2/3′s will be able to test skis during their normal morning gate session on Wardance.  The Devos will test skis during their normal afternoon gate session on Wardance – any Council team member who is not away at Shoot out may also join the Devos in the afternoon to test.

There will be both a SL and a GS set for both sessions even though all groups are technically training GS.  So athletes may wish to bring their SL armor along with them to test SL skis.

There is a Masters race on Wardance on Sat so we will train SL somewhere.

Sunday we will be back on Wardance we will traim GS!

Thanks,

Ric
