Athletes: Don't forget your HARD EAR RACE HELMET and GS SKIS, if you have them.
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.

Race
Getting ready: We'll meet on the 2nd floor of the lodge where we'll have some tables for athletes to use to get dressed in the morning. Athletes should be headed outside at 8:45am to group up with coaches and get in line so we're headed up the lift at 9am.
Racing: We’ll race with a typical schedule - on the hill at 9, race starts at 10, lunch between first and second runs (it's a trek to/from the venue - bring something you can easily pack out with you if needed to be on time), then we should be done and off the hill between 2 and 3.
