Dry Land Practice as Originally Scheduled for Monday Dec 12

Because we had to cancel both the Friday and Sunday optional On-Snow practices this weekend because of the damage the rain did to the trail system we had tentatively scheduled an On-Snow on Monday evening.   While the trails are not in great shape ASC were able to groom some trails after it got colder last night.  They do not want to touch the others till more water drains out and hopefully the storm this week dumps a lot of new snow.

However, there were only two sign-ups on Doodle for Monday so I have canceled the on-snow and the regular mandatory dry-land practice will be held from 3:30 – 5:00 pm.

This is an important practice.   Apart from dealing with paperwork and uniforms that are still not complete,  it will be the only dry land this week.  Our first race is 9 days away and many athletes need every bit of practice available.
