What a great season!
J3's, if you are interested in racing at Snowbird, Drew and Becky need to know by 4:00 PM Monday! Meeting times will be emailed to those that are racing.
Brighton is planning on staying open until April 22, so there is plenty of time to ski with your friends and family!
Looking for a Summer Ski Camp at Mt. Hood? There are a lot to choose from! We will send out more information about some great ones soon!
We are always looking for sponsors and fundraising opportunities. Please email Becky if you know of anything. If we could find a sponsor (or two or three) to help us afford new jackets, wireless timing, new radios and a computer, that would be fantastic! Those are the top four items on our "wish list" right now.
Awards BBQ/Pool Party is in the works, more details and a date to be announced soon!
Thanks again for a great season!
From: Your board members: Jim Ruelle, Chad Stapley, Chris Blanchat, Han Kim, Dave Duzy, Ryan Davenport, and Cam Smith
Your Coaches: Drew, Chris H, Lyndsey, Jason, Eric, Hunter and Laura

YSL Champs recap:
Isaiah was our TOP representative on the podium, placing 1st, 2nd and 4th this weekend! Great job!
Many of our racers scored "personal bests," too many to note, to be honest. Be sure to check out the race results on the Intermountain web site: www.ussa-imd.org. Click on Race Results -> Youth Ski League -> Then click on the race you wish to view, scroll down for the YSL Champs at the Canyons.
There are many pictures of our fun on Facebook, and we are hoping to get them loaded onto the web site as well. If you have pictures to share, get them to Jim or Becky. Wow, we had a GOOD time! Our YSL Cup team came in third, and skied GREAT at the UOP!
Hartlauer Memorial:
Parents: check with your volunteer coordinator for your "show up" time. When in doubt, check with Jim Ruelle. Our head gate keeper will be Han Kim this weekend, so if you are assigned to gates, check in with Han. Dave Duzy will be Chief of Course, so if you are on course crew, check in with Dave. Base area volunteers check in with Jim. Race officials and timing crew, check in with Jim and Becky.
Eric and Hunter will be skiing with the J6's on Saturday, and I believe two of them are going to give the race a "go" so good luck, little dudes!
RACERS: arrive ready to SKI at 7:45 AM. We will have bibs for you, and you will be getting on the chair at 8:15 AM with your coaches for inspection. This is the plan. It looks like a WET day, so plan accordingly. We cannot sit in the Chalet without purchasing food, so plan accordingly... grab a picnic table outside if you bring your lunch.
CARPOOL! Specifically the early morning volunteers, use the Park-n-Ride at the mouth of the Canyon. We need to reserve the few parking spaces we have between Milly and the church for the racers from other teams.
THIS IS A TWO DAY RACE! We need lots of volunteers for both days! Thank you, thank you!

YSL Championships at The Canyons! INFORMATION
YSL TEAM:
Friday, you will park and ride the Cabriolet from the parking area to the main plaza area. There will be a tent for you to register at and pick up lift ticket vouchers for the discounted passes that you wish to purchase. This tent will be there each day, so no worries. You should be able to pick up all vouchers on Friday if you wish. Each athlete will recieve a "goodie bag" with some swag in it as well as a t-shirt. Also, there will be some fantastic prize drawing's, so if you wish you can purchase some tickets at the registration/check in tent. There will be lines by TEAM, so check out the signs.
You will buy your athlete tickets at the ticket window with the vouchers you pick up. Be ready to jump into the ticket line.
Let's meet READY TO SKI at 9:45 at the top of the Cabriolet by the Guest services and ticket sales buildings. (If you want to arrive early, they may have the event check in tent open around 9:00, but no guarantees on that just yet.) The first RED COAT to arrive gets to pick the spot. We will get on the lift as soon as everyone is there. Coaches will attend a brief meeting at 10:00, then it is off to the chair lift for inspection of the Kombi.
Be sure to pack a backpack with a lunch, snacks, and drinks (plenty of water) for your athlete, as well as sunscreen. Going "back to the car" at the Canyon's is time consuming, so plan accordingly.
We will be sending out more information as it becomes available. I think this will get us through for now. Let's have a FUN weekend! I'm looking forward to it!
Here is a link to the race announcement with a map of the plaza area at The Canyons and other important information. Let me know if you have questions.

Weekend report:
Saturday was a WINDY day at Snowbasin, but we had two medalists that prevailed through the howling winds to bring home some hardware! Savannah placed 10th in the J5 girls and KyAnn placed 9th in the J4 girls. Congratulations!
High Speed Training was a success at Brighton, and THEN the storm hit! We are glad to get some good training in while the weather was good.
This week: training Tuesday night. Entries are due to Becky by Monday for the Snowbasin Super-G. Check with your coach for a schedule of events, it is going to be a fun weekend.
Eric, Lyndsey and Jason's teams will be training at Brighton on Saturday to get ready for the YSL Championships. Several emails have been sent out regarding the cost of the event and extra activities. Be sure to register for the Friday night event if you are interested. That one you will register for on your own. Becky will take care of the race entries, and will need to know if your athlete will be racing all three days, or just one or two of the days. Please confirm with her via email this week.
The Hartlauer Memorial is coming up quickly! March 17-18, at Brighton. This is a South Series race. We will invite any interested J5's to race in this event. This is a two run event, with technical components. Talk to your coach if you are interested in racing, and FOCUS during training. We need to solidify volunteers for this event! Please be sure to email Jim and Becky so you are on the list!
