Good morning!

I hope folks are ready for the incoming weather. We could be set for some good snow over the next couple of days. 

I want to thank everyone for all the help with our race last Wednesday. From the other coaches' comments, it was a very good race. We have another race coming up on February 11 at home and we'll need the crew to mobilize again. 

This week we have two races on the schedule: Tuesday's classic 5k at Dublin School Nordic Center, and Saturday's Coaches' Series Classic race at Waterville Valley.

We have buses for both races. I'll post the departure times in the week plan below. With tomorrow's school status up in the air, I'll post what we'd be doing in practice if we are able to do so.

This week:

Monday: practice @ Proctor 4-5:30; easy pre-race CLASSIC skiing

Tuesday: race @ Dublin School Nordic Center- MS departure 12:15, HS departure 12:30, please plan on riding on the bus both ways.

Wednesday: practice @ Proctor 4-5:30; CLASSIC technique

Thursday: practice @ Proctor 4-5:30; CLASSIC distance (technique for MS)

Friday: waxing for Coaches' Series Race 2:30-5

Saturday: Coaches' Series CLASSIC race @ Waterville Valley- departure from HS 7:00 am, all skiers take the bus up, notify coaches if you are going home with parents 24 hours ahead of time. Plan on staying until the end of the last race.

The Coaches' Series race that was postponed yesterday because of the cold has been rescheduled to February 7 at Gunstock. We will have a bus and will be departing at 7:30 am.

That's it for now. I'm off to make sure we're ready for 12-18" of snow!!
