*Pee wee’s and atoms, please check the front page of the CNSC website before driving in for a 12:00 meet time. In case the race is postponed or cancelled.
Note from the CNSC: It will be very cold again on Sunday (see forecast below). The organizers will make a decision at the Jury meeting. I know this does not help the early drive to Calgary. Note that the cut-off temperature is – 18°C without winds. Although the race did go ahead today, even with the cold temperatures.
Alain, Kathy and Scott will all be a the race on sunday.
PLEASE ARRIVE AT 9:15, READY TO SKI AT 9:30. MEET AT THE BIATHLON TENT – same spot as last BCRR at COP. For those of you unfamiliar with the site, access the trails from the tents at the NE corner of the main parking lot. Then ski up to the main open area and find the biahtlon tent (it is not very big site- you will find us). We will pick up the bibs for the team.
Parents please fill in with jobs when you arive with respect to warm up and general keeping track of the kids. remember your waivers!!
** we are hopeful that we can put you on a relay team even if you only registered for the Sunday skate sprints. But we do not have 100% confirmation yet. This is just for Midgets and Mini Midgets.
If you decide not to participate because of the cold temperatures forcasted, we completely understand. We will make relay teams based on whomever comes out.
Calgary Olympic Park forecast for Sunday January 24thCheck the Environment Canada website – under Calgary (Canada Olympic Park)
It is calling for a high of -14, with winds up to 20km/hour. Bringing the temps with windchill down to the -20 range.
