The Next Few Meets...

We had to cancel our meet at Camp Ripley on the 18th. There hasn't been enough snow for them to get their groomers out yet this year.

The tentative plan for this week is to send Varsity to Detroit Lakes on Thurs (Jan 14), and JV and Jr High to St Johns that same day.  If St Johns cancels, most skiers will go to DL.  Info is posted below for both meets.

What: Detroit Lakes Invitational
When: 10:30 am Thursday January 14th 2016
Where: Maplelag Resort, Callaway, MN

Skiers should pack their own lunch.  Concessions will not be available to skiers.

The varsity race will be a continuous pursuit, starting with classic style and a quick change to skate at the halfway point of the race.

• The skiers may have assistance in the change over process.  
• If skiers use the same set of skis for both the classic and skate race, the skier must step completely out of the ski binding in the ski transition area before they will be allowed to continue the next leg of the race. 
• Each leg of the race will be roughly 5k in length.

JV skiers will ski a 5k classic race.
Jr. High skiers will ski a 3-4k classic race.
