THANK YOU BRAUN FAMILY
Thank you to the Braun Family for opening up their house and hosting a fantastic team dinner- and thank you to everyone who contributed. On a side note, I better not see any of those video of me singing on You Tube (skiers, remember who waxes your skis- I can make them slow as well as fast!!)

Practices During Vacation
What to Bring to a race
Water- the cold air dehydrates you fast- bring a water bottle and refill constantly!
FOOD- you need food for fuel! Bananas, energy bars, fruit, bagels, bread....avoid sweets!
Classic Skis
Those who know their kick zone- wax with CH 7 during a free block, those that don't know their kick zone- we will do that on Friday
Reminder- only glide wax (iron) tips and tails of classic skis- leave the kick zone dry (no wax)
Uniforms
Uniforms have to be handed in at the end of the season- learn your uniform number so you don't get it mixed up with others!
When racing you will want to wear long underwear layers under your uniform. Warm up for a race with clothing over that and then strip down before the start of your race.
