The idea behind the wax assignments is not for parents to wax kids skis, as we have been working towards independence. The purpose of the assignment is to assist kids with waxing, especially if the wax is hard to apply, if conditions are tricky, or if some kids need touchups for better grip.

If this wasn’t clear on the original post then we apologize. It is our expectation that kids come prepared to be ready to ski with skis grip waxed at the scheduled time.

Learning to improve in classic requires good grip which is the reason we need assistance.

UPDATED TR1 and JD 1st Annual Winter Training Day / Potluck
DECEMBER 17, 2013 BY ROSS
To run another successful training day we need volunteers!  I have modified the volunteer sign-up sheet to reflect the changes.
We will need :
Parents to help time the morning Time Trial
Parents to help set-up and run the King’s court sprint racing
Parents to make delicious food for a later afternoon potluck.

What could be better than skiing, free time for the kids to play in the snow, socializing and eating?
