Hello Ski Fans,
Everything is set for a fun day tomorrow!
Internal Gear Swap Reminder Tomorrow September 25th
Saturday is going to be a good day to swap out-grown team clothing and ski gear to younger smaller skiers. So try on your stuff and bring your small stuff up to Telemark for Saturday afternoon. If you want to bring skis to be tested out on the slider board they need to be clean of grip and storage glide wax. Coaches can assist during the lunch break (11:30-12:30) and I can also check out gear after the afternoon activities end at 2:30 pm. There will be an order window to buy new team clothing at a discounted rate in October. Our Telemark public ski swap is scheduled for October 23rd.
