Team -
The weather isn't looking good and I can't see Alpine not being completely ICY tomorrow if they are even open. So I'm making the call tonite to cancel practice for tomorrow.
Now this leaves us in a bad spot as winter break goes for the next two weeks.
I won't make practice mandatory during the break. BUT for all of you that are new to the team, I will be at Alpine every TUESDAY and THURSDAY over the break (as long as they are open). If you want to practice meet upstairs (where we met yesterday) at 5:30. I can give instruction and then we can head out to the hill.
Asst. Coach Brian has also said that he will be at Alpine every Sunday morning if anyone wants to meet up with him and get further instruction. Brian is a snowboard instructor and former Lakeland Snowboardcross racer. He can help the beginner or advanced rider sharpen their skills. You can email him at this address: alternarock1230@aol.com if you want to make sure he'll be there.
Let me remind everyone that Time Trials are scheduled to be done on January 3rd. This means there will be no OFFICIAL practices before time trials. So I urge all riders to come out to the practices over the break. Hopefully Alpine will be able to make snow soon and start building our course so we can train on it.
If you have any questions, please email me or call. It's difficult for me to return calls at times, but I'm much more available by email and can usually get a message back quickly.
thanks
