Hello Biathletes,
If you plan on racing the XC races this weekend, please remember:
-Register for the AB Cup 1 & 2/ NORAM/Youth Olympic Games Trials/Alberta Winter Games Trials (Saturday only). Details on our home page. The deadline is Wednesday, December 2.
-You will receive an emailed wax recommendation for the weekend on Thursday when we have a more accurate forecast.
-Race details will be posted on the forum Friday and Saturday evenings around 8pm after the Team Captain’s Meetings. (On the XC Forum)
-If you have equipment questions, ask your coach. We want to help.
Other Reminders:
-Please, please, please send us your ski label form. If you do not know something, ask and we will help.
-We will not be submitting a group lot of skis for stone grinding this year. If your skis need a grind, we recommend the cold grind from http://www.grindersskiservice.com/ over on Boulder Crescent. If you get a group together, the cost will be less.
Registration is also open for the Calforex 1 & 2 Biathlon Races. Register now.
