Plans going into the Holiday period

A couple of notes going forward.

Jackets: If your jacket was a part of the first order, it should be ready for tomorrow and in the Team Room for pick-up. If you have very recently ordered a jacket, it will not be ready yet. I will get the paperwork from the embroiderer and will let you know what the costs are.

Demo Days: Parents, remember tomorrow is the Demo day for skis to be located near the Big Drift Building. Remember you will need a credit card and ID for a deposit. Demos 8:30 till 3:00.

Ed and Mully’s has been reconfigured and the Resort would like highlight its new menu and service plan. Order your food at a take- out window and receive a beeper/pager that will call you when your order is ready. You will find a comfortable arrangement of couches, chairs and table seating.

Our Junior Race Team will start Dec 27th at 9:00 am outside the Team Room Door. Look for Roy, Dorothy and David. It would be great if all who are starting in the program that day have as much skiing mileage as they can prior to the 27th. I would strongly suggest that if any are starting on new equipment, they do so prior to the 27th to have some time to adjust to the new gear.
Our plan for the first couple of days will be skiing and getting to know one-another.

Our Jr. 3 and older group will offer non-mandatory gate drill sessions on the mornings of Dec 22, 23 and 26. 9:00-11:30. Most likely these will be GS oriented according to current conditions.

Opening Day

This note just in from the Resort:
Below is a brief summary of what will be open tomorrow, and soon after around the resort. Please take note and spread the word. All business open will have normal hours, so consult your Resort Guide if you don't already know.

Open Tomorrow:
• Chair 1 will run its normal schedule, 9:30AM - 4:00PM. Chair 7 and the T-bar will also be running. Chair 6 will not be running tomorrow.
• Base Lodge Cafe and Bar
• Base Lodge Traders
• Summit Gifts
• Summit House Restaurant and Bar
• Snow Ghost Outfitters
• Village Market
• Base Lodge Rentals will be open on a limited basis, but guests are encouraged to go to Village Rentals for ski and snowboard rentals and repairs.

Other:
• Glacier Gifts will open Saturday, Dec. 19
• The new Ed & Mully's (Eat|Drink|Lounge|Caffeinate) will open Friday, Dec. 11.
Parking:
• Birch and Cedar Lots: $5
• All other lots, including Dogwood: Free
• There will be an additional shuttle running between the Village, Lift Plaza, and Base Lodge for those who need to get to and from Chair 1 and the Base Lodge since Chair 6 will not be running. Please make sure everyone you run into tomorrow knows that Chair 6 is not running and knows that frequent shuttles will be available.
Our Race Team will meet at the Team Room (see the door in the attached photo) at the Hellroaring Saloon. Note that Chair 6 will not run, nor will Chair 2. That most likely means a drop off in the Village area for the Race Teamers. Come inside and we will have a short athlete meeting, take an opportunity to double check equipment then depart for chair 1…

Once up Chair one we will likely stay there for the remainder of the training day. Be prepared for lunch at the Summit House with a lunch in your backpack or money for lunch at their cafeteria. Put some extra layers in your bag as the forecast is for cold and wind. If we find it really silly to be up there for cold or conditions we MAY come back to the Team Room for indoor activities like some video training programs or ski waxing and tuning instruction.

Same for Sunday at this time...

See you tomorrow …
