Note From The Coaches...

Dear Parents of Nordic Skiers,

First of all, we would like to thank you for all you do to help our athletes participate in Nordic Skiing.  We know it takes a great deal of commitment by athletes and their parents to produce a quality ski program.  Thank you.

On Monday Jan 20, 2014 we will host the Flyer Ripley Invitational at the Camp Ripley’s Biathlon Range.  We invite you to join us for a great afternoon of ski racing.  Thirteen schools, with over 400 skiers will participate on one of the finest courses in Minnesota.  The schedule for the day has the Boys Varsity race beginning at 10:00 followed by the Girls Varsity races at 10:45.  The JV races will start around 11:30.  The Jr High races are Boys at 12:00 and Girls at 12:30.  Varsity Boys and Varsity Girls will complete the Pursuit Race at 1:30 and 2:15 respectively.  Awards program will follow.

To put on a quality event takes a lot of good help.   With the meet growing in size, it has become more difficult covering all the needs.  We are asking for help in the following areas:  bib collection, bib sorting, timing, start area, and building clean-up.  If you can help in any of these areas we would be very appreciative.  Of course we would not want you working while your son or daughter is skiing (that ís the time for cheering), but if you could help out at other times it will make things go much smoother.  Some of the parents are also organizing a concession stand so if you would like to get involved in that, contact Andrea Foote.

If you are available and willing, please contact Terry on his cell 320 232-0096 .  We are excited about a great day and welcome your involvement.
