With such a long break between your qualifier and heats, I recommend the U12 head home (or to a friend’s house) to relax.
Check in at the teamroom 1 hour before your start to collect your bib. Race skis will be on the wall outside when they are ready.
U12 Boys- Meet at the teamroom at 9:00 for the team warm up with Michel
U12 Girls- Meet at the teamroom at 9:15 for team warm up with Rachel
U10 Girls and boys- Meet at the teamroom at 9:45 for the team warm up with Hugh Simpson.
For the heats: Everyone meet at the teamroom at 1:15 to warm up again. Be sure you still have your bib!
Be sure to drop off your classic race skis in the teamroom at the end of the day before you go home.
Have fun, pole straps on, be yourself but more so!
