Hello LCs,
The first Alberta Cup races of the season have arrived! AB Cup 1&2 will be on Saturday and Sunday Check the race notice for your distances. Registration closes Tuesday the 14th at 23:59, so don’t delay to get signed up. Some of us were having trouble using Firefox on the registration, so I’d recommend Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Safari probably works too, but I haven’t heard either way. Registration link here: https://zone4.ca/reg.asp?id=27534
We will send out a glide wax recommendation later this week. For classic skis, be sure the skis are clean (no sticky bases/sidewalls/topsheet) and the wax lines are well marked. Ensure you have your name on all your skis- near the tips is best.
Information about each day’s race will be shared in a forum post the evening before the race once the Team Captain’s Meeting has wrapped up. Typically by 8pm.
