Schedule for the Rest of the Week 2/5-2/9
Congrats to our Sections team for some great racing Monday! And also congrats to our State Meet qualifiers. State team, let's check in today at JV Champs or on Wednesday at practice to talk training up until the race and details for the meet. We'll continue to practice this week as normal and now that it looks like the snow will continue and accumulate, here's the plan for the rest of the week: Tuesday: JV Champs! Final race of the season for our JV team Wednesday: Varsity and JV1 meet in parking lot of old chalet at Theo Wirth. There is a section race but it should be over by time we get there. Plus, if we get enough snow there's a possibility of skiing the natural snow trails. Bring both skate and classic. Thursday: Everyone's invited (Varsity, JV1 & JV2) to go ski at French Regional park after school, bus will leave HHS at 3:15 and we'll be back by 5:30 pm. Skate ski Friday: Varsity and JV1 will meet at Wirth at the Trailhead Building at 3:30 pm. Saturday: Time and Location TBD, probably Wirth. As of now it may be too cold to practice early in the morning due to lows over night but we will try to meet up and ski at some point. Looking Ahead: Monday 2/11: We will try to get a ski in somewhere with a bus leaving HHS. Tuesday 2/12 will be our last day of practice. We will be at school and will do team photos, uniform and gear turn in (Rental Skis). Please wear your uniform for the team photos, we will be taking them right away at 3-3:10 pm, then you can change and turn it in. Please also bring your skis if you have rented them from the team. Our end of year Banquet will be the evening of Monday, February 25th. More details to come. |

Updates and Conference Team Week of 1/28
So here's where we stand:
Conference racers will meet after school on Thursday at 3:00pm for a quick meeting and then to wax skis, the coaches will let you know what the wax will be at the meeting. You will need to wax both skate and classic skis and make sure your classic skis are cleaned, sanded and marked for the hard wax zones. If you get down to the wax room before the meeting, you may clean you classic skis but please do not start glide waxing. The conference team is below, please make sure to let a coach know if you cannot race, otherwise I will register you. The section team will be announced on Friday after the race. Dismissal from school for the Friday race are the following times.

Updates for Week of January 28th
So here's where we are at this week: I'm sure you've heard school has been cancelled Tuesday & Wednesday :) We will not be practicing either of these days but try to find something active to do indoors if possible. Also due to weather, it is confirmed that JV champs race will not be held this week, but it is looking likely that it will be moved to next Tuesday 2/5 at Elm Creek. Time TBD Conference Champs was supposed to be Thursday but will probably not be held then due to cold temps in the morning. It is looking likely that Conference Champs will now be on Friday at Carver Park. Time TBD. If this happens, then the conference team will meet at school Thursday after school to wax skis. I am still waiting on final confirmation on the Friday Conference Champs and on JV Champs next week but should be able to have that finalized with the other conference coaches tomorrow. Stay tuned. Finally, we will not be able to ski at Wirth Saturday because of Loppet Events, we may have a different plan to come but still plan to help volunteer to set up the Luminary Loppet at 10am. Should be a balmy 40 degrees ABOVE zero. More to come tomorrow. |
Announcements & Schedule for Week of January 28th
Announcements All I can say is STAY TUNED TO REMIND FOR CHANGES THIS WEEK! With a forecast for snow Sunday into Monday followed by frigid temps, there will certainly be changes happening. We will adapt with the changes and conditions and send updates out via the Remind App. Make sure you have access to this this week to stay up-to-date. Races this week: JV Champs was originally scheduled for Tuesday 1/29 at Baker Golf Course but was moved to Wednesday at Elm Creek due to lack of snow. Now, it looks like Wednesday will be below the -4 cutoff for legal racing according to the state high school league. We could be back to racing at Baker Tuesday but as of now, that also looks too cold. So we may reschedule for Friday... So needless to say, stay tuned. Also, bring stuff to workout at school as well all week as we'll be inside if the temps are too low to ski. Conference Champs is scheduled for Thursday @ 11:30am at Wirth but again, it may be too cold to race. If it is too cold, it will likely just be cancelled for lack of other options as we'll be moving to focus on sections next week. PASTA PARTY!!: There is a pasta party on Monday 1/28 @ 5pm this week open to all skiers at the Firehammer's home. The address will be sent with the Remind notice. Volunteering: There are still volunteer opportunities this weekend to help set up for the Loppet Invite starting at 10am. Also, with new snow, the MYSL youth ski group will likely meet at Glen Lake Golf Course at 1:30pm this Sunday and they would love volunteers! Schedule Monday - Bus to Wirth leaving school at 3:15 and back around 5pm OR practice at school if snow is too bad. Bring indoor workout stuff as well as ski stuff Pasta Party after practice at 5/5:30pm Tuesday - Possible JV race at Baker OR practice inside at school if temps are too low, weight lifting/drills in gym. Bring indoor workout stuff as well as ski stuff Wednesday - Possible JV race at Baker OR practice inside at school if temps are too low, weight lifting/drills in gym. Bring indoor workout stuff as well as ski stuff Thursday - Conference Champs @ Wirth @ 11:30am, bus leaving HHS at 10am. Signup, race info, and conference team announcements to come OR alternative plan TBD if there is no race. Bring indoor workout stuff as well as ski stuff Friday - If there is enough snow, Bus to Baker Park leaving school at 3:10pm and back around 5:45. JV2 is invited to come ski this day. Saturday - Meet at Wirth Trailhead at 8am for skiing, followed by breakfast. Then we will all go volunteering to help set up for Loppet Luminaries at 10am. |

Race Info & Signup For Varsity Sprints @ Elm Creek, Tuesday Jan. 22nd, 2019
Our next race is a varsity only race on Tuesday January 22nd, 2019 at Elm Creek. The race format is skate sprints. Each team will consist of 2 skiers. Each skier will ski 2 alternating laps and tag off their teammate between laps. Each lap will be about 1.2k. Each team will ski 2 heats, regardless of how they finish. NOTE: There is no school this day so no need for release times! However, there will be a bus leaving from school at 1:30pm. Because there are 2 rounds of races, this meet takes a bit longer and so it starts at 3pm. We should return to school around 5:30/6pm.
