Track Attack MINI MIDGETS – please bring classic skis for a longer, but SLOW, cool down ski on Sunday. Pee Wees you can cool down on your skate gear. Remember to bring something to eat (a bar of some sort, or a peanut butter sandwich) immediately after your race, also a fruit juice. You will need this before the cool down ski.
