Volunteers Needed!
If you can help in any of the positions for Saturday and/or Sunday please email Karissa at alyeskamightymites@gmail.com and identify when you are able to help. There are multiple races on both days so there are lots of opportunity to help. You can sign up in the morning on Race Day in the RTC. Thanks in advance for all the support as these long weekend races require a lot of parent help for success!
THIS IS DEPENDENT ON SNOW, WEATHER & MOUNTAIN CONDITIONS.
Pre-Race Bib Pickup 10 to 10:15 am in the RTC
Meet Coaches at 10:15 am at Animal Signs
10:30-11:15 Course Inspection. We will be running two courses simultaneously, one course for Chipmunks, Otters, Beavers and Lynx, and another course for Tigers, Cougars, Wildcats and Junior Hopefuls.
Race Start estimated for 11:15 am.
We anticipate that the race will be over by 1:15 pm.
Morning ski with groups and coaches: All groups will inspect the course in the morning and race in the morning.
Volunteer’s Break – After Race is complete.
Kid’s Lunch break – After the individual groups races are complete (will vary and be at coaches discretion).
Afternoon ski with groups and coaches: Groups will ski with their coaches for the afternoon following lunch break until 3pm.
Awards – Estimated for 3:30 pm in the RTC or outside if weather permits.
One Run Race: This race is our first pointed race. This means that if a racer misses a gate or has difficulty they will not receive a re-run. The only re-runs allowed are those for racers who have been interfered with and that was substantiated by the racer’s coach, and race officials. Parents with concerns about their child’s runs are directed to their child’s coaches – this procedure follows USSA Racing guidance.
10:15 – 10:30: Meet coaches and groups at the base of Tanaka by the animal signs. Please check the lists on the RTC window for changes in groups. We are still doing some movement within groups, primarily the Chipmunk and Cougar groups to help ensure that groups are compatible free skiing. If you have questions about your child’s group please find Karissa to discuss it.
10:30 – 12:00: Ski/train with coaches in assigned groups. We plan to set up stubbies/brushies (short SL type gates) to continue our focus on slalom fundamentals. Hill space and mountain conditions are limiting factors.
12:00 – 1:00: Return to RTC for Lunch Break.
1:00 – 3:00: Ski/train with coaches in assigned groups.
Please dress your children for the cold weather!
The cleanup schedule will be posted in the RTC this weekend. This Sunday the Chipmunk group is responsible for RTC is cleanup.
Parents: Please help keep the Race Training Center clean. After lunch, pick up loose trash and vacuum the carpet. At the end of the day, please repeat the process, as well as bag up the trash cans and place the trash by the door nearest the stairs going up. Thank you!
Mighty Mites will begin at 10:30 AM [meet at signs at 10:15] and end at 1:00 PM. We will ski through the lunch hour. This will accommodate those who want to enjoy Super Bowl festivities, and allow others to get out and enjoy some crowd-free skiing in the afternoon.
Please feed your kids a big breakfast and send a good snack with them to hold them over until 1:00.
