Cool, looking forward to itbump. I got a race package in the mail. The capts meeting is DEC 19th. Ga2ski is our co captian and he is helping out by attending. They sent us a brosure.... Ski Mon-thurs on a non race nights, (we are monday) So tues, wed and Thurs and show you race tag and you can ski for $20 bucks. Just for race team members, I'll get out a few extra nights with this set up.
I talked to Thaller1 on Sat, sounds like she and Terry have that team set to go as well.

Acording to their website, the team fees must be paid in full by Jan 3rd. I think the team members just paid on the first race night. I plan on being at the River on sunday the 3rd if anyone is around. :beer:
I am soooo jealous of you guys. I was the Alpine Racing Coach at Greely JH for two years. We trainned and raced at Shawnee. Shawnee does an incredible job with the racing programs, you guys are going to have a blast! TH...do you know Mark Smith per chance?
Is Mark from North Yarmouth area? I'm nervous and excited as I've never raced before.. any pointers?
Yea, he is. He teaches at Chevrus, good guy, his son was one of my stars but infortunately he took him and the other elite racer we had to Chevrus for final 2 years. I thought everyone in NY knew eachother....:lol:
You'll be fine. Just like anything practice makes perfect. When we trained the adult teams were on the next trail and it seemed they were having alot of fun. One thing is at night it gets very cold there so be prepared. After the first run you'll learn that it's important to start your turns quicker, you will be nervous but that will go away as soon as you fall on your butt and everyone laughing...:smile:
I had kids that never raced before and some that spent every weekend in elite racing ptograms at the Loaf and SR. For the kids that never raced before I told them, bottom line, racing gates WILL make you a better skier.
Thanks for the advise and frightening image !
Should I be afraid to slam the gate and just go around or trying hitting it like the pros do?
Does it hit back?
