Great job ripping in Ripton today team! Team support was strong and the boys and girls both made a good showing!

Classic Waxing Thursday- States team and first tier alternates (we will still wax at the high school even if there is a snow day tomorrow).
Girls 3-4:30 PM
Boys 4:30-6 PM

All skiers who are not states team and first tier alternates should attend school Thursday. It's important to cheer on team mates, however academics take priority.

Thanks to parents who brought or sent food today! I have bagels, PB&J, bread, clementines, apples, and some other food items left over that I will save for the Thursday meet.

The bus departs at 7 AM tomorrow morning for Rikert. Be at EHS by 6:50 AM.

The teams and first tier alternates sent out in the emails will travel on the bus. Other team members will need to make arrangements to carpool.

States skiers :

•  T-Shirts: If you ordered one, please bring a check made out to EHS student activities for $20 by the end of the week,
• Hydrate, rest well, and get pumped!
• Generous parents have donated some food for States; however you should not expect to have all of your food needs taken care of (bringing many snack items, such as granola bars, trail mix, bananas, apples, would be a good strategy). AS ALWAYS:bring lots of water

Wednesday Waxing- waxing today went very smoothly, thanks to all for your focus! For this reason, we will wax by teams again on Wednesday afternoon. One team will wax classic skis from 3-4:30 and the other will wax from 4:30-6. 

GO HORNETS!
