Masters Recreational Coaches Needed

Our wonderful Masters Recreational program has been coached for many years by an excellent team of coaches. Some of these coaches are unavailable or are coaching less this year. We need to welcome some new coaches for succession to keep the program going strong. This is a great group to coach - the skiers are very keen, enthusiastic and very appreciative of the coaches. We have had many recreational athlete alumni become coaches. There are coach training courses coming up, check info in this newsletter.

Contact Marilyn for further information on how you could get involved.

*New Loppet Date*

Traditionally we have held our loppet as the final club activity at the end of the ski season. The board has decided to try something new this year to take advantage of the potentially colder weather and better snow and trail conditions instead of our usually slushy spring snow. We have moved the loppet date to February 11th. This does mean we will have to get on our loppet training sooner! Everything else will be the same. Stay tuned as the year progresses for more details.
