Waxin', water, and updated schedule

WAXING ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FRIDAY - Due to larger numbers of skiers racing this season (YAY!) we have more skiers waxing...quite understandable as we know everyone wants to be fast. It's also great because waxing is a really fun thing to do as a team and really adds to the social aspect of the team. So, to accommodate waxing, we will head to CVU to wax after practice on Friday for those skiers interested. It will allow us to use many more tables and irons and profiles than the minimal equipment at Sleepy Hollow. This will SAVE TIME for everyone as well. You will want to bring a change of clothes so that you can be in dry, warm clothes for waxing, and it would probably be a good idea to bring a snack. We will need parents to help drive. If there is a certain parent that you are ONLY allowed to travel with, please let me know and parents, inform your skier of this as well. If you can arrange carpools ahead of time that would be great as well so we can get skiers down to CVU.

ALSO - WATER BOTTLES --- BRING THEM TO PRACTICE!!! EVEN THOUGH IT IS COLD, YOU STILL NEED TO HYDRATE. No more eating snow :o) A regular water bottle is fine since we aren't out too long and you could always bring it to the meadow and then to wherever we might be doing other activities, but if someone wants to buy you a gift, it can be helpful to have a belt that holds a water bottle or even a belt that has a canteen-ish thing built in. Then it's on your body and at the ready. There are several different brands and they will probably look similar to these.
