This week we are training at Tahoe Donner Cross Country Center the whole week. Everyone must have a Tahoe Donner Pass to ski, no exceptions. If you haven’t got your pass yet please print the form from the ACMS website and take it to Tahoe Donner Adventure Center to get your pass.
There is a regular School Bus departing from ACMS after school each day that has room for skiers and skis and will drop off athletes at Tahoe Donner XC in time for practice. You need a bus pass to ride this bus and it will not be available to bring athletes back after practice, you will need your own ride home. While at Tahoe Donner our team are to restrict themselves to the team room and avoid using the main lodge unless buying something. Any parents who are at practice if you could help us keep kids out of the main lodge that would be helpful. This week we have a classic race in Mammoth on Friday, February 2nd. We need every athlete to fill out the form letting us know if you are racing and if you are riding the bus. Form will come in a separate email soon. We need to have the completed form returned to us by Wednesday at 3:00PM. If you don’t return the form you cannot race on Friday. it is very helpful if you are not racing to still fill out the form to let us know that. FORMS BACK BY 3:00PM ON WEDNESDAY! Athletes need to attend at least 2 practices during the week to be eligible to race on Friday. Friday is a full day. Athletes who are racing and riding the bus need to be at ACMS at 7:00am on Friday ready for a 4 hour bus ride to Mammoth. Girls race at 1:00PM and Boys at 1:30PM. There is not a good place to change clothes at Mammoth so it is best to wear your ski clothes while on the bus. You will need to bring food to eat for the way down and for lunch. We will stop for dinner in Carson City on the return home so everyone needs to bring some money for dinner. We are guessing we will be back to ACMS around 7:00PM on Friday. The race venue in Mammoth is called Tamarack Cross Country center and the race start is about a 1 mile ski or hike from the parking lot. If there are parents who are planning to go to the race and are available to help us with team management please email us and let us know so we can give you a job.
