Dress for working out on the trails, close-toed shoes/boots, pants, gloves... Have a pruner, saw, rake? Bring it.
We'll finish with a potluck again. And again, we'll keep it simple and up to... luck. Please bring a dish, side, or dessert to share.
October 29th: 3:30-5:30. Preseason ski rental. Priority will be given to 7th & 8th-grade skiers (3:30-4:30). Next will be new skiers and high school skiers (4:30-5:30). If we have rentals left, those will be made available to high school skiers. If you are a high school skier who needs equipment, please plan to purchase and ski on your own equipment. It will be of higher quality, and you will likely take better care or it. If you need gear, please consider one of the sales or swaps listed below. You can get some EXCELLENT deals. If you don't know what to purchase, please ask coach. ALSO, there will be experts to help you at the sales and swaps.
