HEADS UP: We may not have all of the blueberries (start jackets) with us this weekend - we have at least a couple to use, but we'll need to keep them up at the start if this is the case, so plan to wear your pants and SMA jacket until we get close to your start.

• Travel

  • Carpools will depart Portland Fri 1/9, Return to Portland Sat 1/10. See carpool assignments below.

  • Traveling as a carpool: if you are driving a carpool, you are more than welcome to depart Portland after school on Friday, Jan 9th. When you arrive to Baker City, you’ll check in at the front desk and they’ll have your room assignments. Anyone utilizing team provided lodging should plan to head back to Portland Saturday following the race. Those who are making a weekend of it are welcome to do what they want once athletes have been released by the coaches from their race day.

• Race

  • Racing: We’ll race Saturday with the typical schedule - on the hill at 9, race starts at 10, lunch between first and second runs, then we should be done and off the hill between 2 and 3. The tentative schedule is below.

    

  • Start Order: The start order will be available on the league website: https://mthoodleague.ski/ The women's start list is below.

    

  • Live Timing: The links will be posted to the league website once/if available. They may not be available with limited service/wifi at the resort. https://mthoodleague.ski/

• Lodging

  • If you are traveling as a solo athlete in a carpool or a parent chaperone (no extra siblings, etc): The team has booked a block of rooms for athletes, coaches, and parent chaperones at the Best Western in Baker City. See room assignments below for team-provided lodging. Athletes with parents who are staying are welcome to room with their parents if preferred.

  • Checking into your room: When you arrive, check in at the front desk. They have your names and room assignments and will issue room keys as you arrive. For athletes - they will give the first athlete to arrive both of the room keys. Please check in with your roommate when you arrive to see if you should check in or if they've already done so.

• Food

  • Friday Dinner: Carpools should make their own plans for dinner on the road Friday - pack food or stop along the way. Athletes will be responsible for covering the cost of their dinner.

  • Saturday Breakfast: hotel breakfast (included in stay)

  • Saturday Lunch: Athletes are responsible for their lunch. Highly recommend packing this with you in a cooler/lunch box on Friday and sticking it in the fridge in the room Friday night. It looks like they do have food for purchase in the lodge if needed/preferred.

• Lift Tickets

  • Athletes will purchase their own lift ticket for race day. There is no special racer pricing, but tickets are reasonably priced at $50 for students.

  • You can purchase tickets ahead of time, but there is limited cell service at the resort, so please be sure you have a screenshot of the receipt to avoid having to purchase twice. https://anthonylakes.com/winter/day-tickets/

  • If you're looking for additional tickets, you can find the prices on their website: https://anthonylakes.com/winter/day-tickets/

• Packing

  • Please keep in mind that you're traveling with a carpool and it's a long ride. There's no need to pack a week's worth of clothes for one night and a race day. Make sure your belongings are consolidated in a reasonably sized bag and your ski clothes/equipment are ready for travel. Double check your boot bag to make sure you have everything you need before Friday morning.
