We're into the thick of it now - hopefully we'll get some actual gate training in before it's time to race again!
It's finals week, which means school is the priority, so there won't be Thursday night training, BUT that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be at dryland training Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week! It's still mandatory and is at the normal time, even with the early dismissal - sorry, but coaches still have a normal workday.
Good luck on finals this week!
As a reminder,
Monday 1/19 GS race at Skibowl is CANCELED
No weeknight on snow training this week due to finals
As a heads up:
Saturday 1/24 Optional training at Timberline is CANCELED - our adult race was rescheduled for Saturday, so we'll be unavailable to coach as we'll all be racing, but we look forward to seeing you Sunday!
Sunday 1/25 SL race at Skibowl is not happening, but we will have practice at Timberline, so you'll still have a team obligation that day. This race will be rescheduled for a later date TBA - the league president is working on that.
This is a reminder that PRACTICES AND RACES ARE MANDATORY, unless otherwise specified or excused by Marina. If you are unsure what is considered an excused absence, please refer to the team policies and let me know if you have questions or concerns.
Practice schedule for the week:
Date | Time | Event | Location | RSVP |

Sunday, 1/25 | 9am-2pm | On snow training* | Timberline (carpool transport) |
*I will have more details for Sunday later this week and will update everyone via Remind and in person at Dryland.
For Athletes:
On Snow Training - Sunday 1/25:
Skibowl doesn't have enough snow and there isn't any more in the forecast for this week, so our SL race will be canceled and I have requested training space at Timberline from 9-2 instead.
We are hopeful we'll be able to set a course, but have not yet heard about next weekend. The weather has to be right to get up on Palmer, which is our only available training venue. I will know more as the week progresses and will be able to provide more information. Please refer to Remind for updates to plans throughout the week.
Please use the button below to sign up for carpool for Sunday.
For Parents:
Sweatshirts: If you ordered a team sweatshirt, they have been distributed. Additional sweatshirts (beyond the athlete) were $30 each, as mentioned before. To pay for your sweatshirt, you can pay me directly via Venmo, Zelle, or bring me cash if that's your preference. Let me know if the QR codes give you any trouble!
On snow training (Sunday): This practice will be at Timberline. With the mountain open, lots are filling and traffic is worse, so please plan to leave Portland early and give yourself plenty of time for both the morning and afternoon commutes. You should plan to be in the lot at Timberline no later than 8:15 to avoid getting turned away at the bottom of Timberline Rd. Use the button below to add your car to the Sunday carpool.
Have photos and videos to share from the season?
We put together a video at the end of the season, and the girls post to their team Instagram account, so if you have any photos/videos you take throughout the season and are willing to share, please upload them to the Google Drive folder using the button below.
