Hi everyone,
Here is the scoop for the week.
Monday: No session. Happy Thanksgiving! Due to the Thanksgiving weekend the last session for the Intro kids was last week. Regular sessions start again for you November 17th every Monday and Thursday. Intro kids (parents) keep reading through to the bottom of this post for reminders about the equipment check, the ski swap and the Banff day. Remember to stay active at least a few days a week doing your other sports or with your family and we’ll see you in November!
Thursday: Canmore Nordic “pre-swap”. For the oldest/tallest kids in TA (ie. not ITA) there will be an opportunity to look at some of the older kids ski equipment to see if it will work before it goes to the ski swap. It will be in the team room during workouts when the team room is open 4:30-6:30 pm these days. Equipment will be labelled with seller’s name and phone number.
Thursday: Skate rollerskiing. Meet at Bow River Campground. (Same place as camp). Bring your ski boots, poles, helmets and gloves AND RUNNING SHOES. Dress for the weather. ** Also bring your classic poles and we will look at your pole needs before the ski swap**.
Friday: 4:30-5:30pm. **Equipment check at the team room for ITA and TA kids. Bring last year’s gear (skis and poles) and we will tell you if it still fits or if you need to get new (used) gear before the ski swap. Note kids need to be in attendance as well as we need to size the equipment against them.
Saturday: Ski swap consignment, at BWTC
Sunday: Ski swap, early bird tickets for $10 at consignment, see global forum post for details about swap.
Coming up: Saturday October 25. Banff Day! All day fun from 9-4pm hiking, nice lunch at the Banff Centre, playing in the gym and swimming. Check back in a few days for a link to a doodle so we can get an idea of numbers. Cost: $20/kid
See you soon!
