- Canceling New Year’s Event December 31, 2015
Hello Ford Sayre Folks,
We are sorry to have to cancel our Ford Sayre New Year’s Family Event (again) this year. While there is snow, it is not very groom-able, and our sources tell us that it is probably not worth skiing on.
We hope that some of you have found snow on which to play. We have been in Quebec skiing with more than 20 FS families on some incredible snow at Mt Ste Anne. We will post pictures in a few days. We send warm wishes for a happy New Year and look forward to seeing you all at our practice on Tuesday.
Cheers,
Ashley & Peter

THANKS:
At this time of year, we would like to express our enormous gratitude for the efforts of the numerous people who make Ford Sayre Nordic what it is. From coaches, to committee members, to Fashion and Wax Gurus, to skiers and parents, thanks for everything each of you brings to our wonderful community. We hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing holiday and find creative ways to stay active in the great outdoors.
FORD SAYRE NEW YEAR’S FAMILY FUN EVENT:
Mark your calendar for the annual New Year’s Day Ford Sayre skiing event (and start doing snow dances!). Assuming we have snow, the event will be held on Friday, January 1st at 1pm at Thetford Academy. Join other Ford Sayre families and friends for a fun, informal series of short, easy cross-country races for both kids and parents, as well as some silly relays. All ages, all abilities welcome!
Let me know if you can bring a snack or cookies for after the events. See you on New Year’s Day!

WAX CINIC TOMORROW:
Jonathan Chipman will hold a wax clinic for interested parents tomorrow at Oak Hill during practice. This is a great way to learn the basics before the snow comes. Please let Jonathan know if you plan to attend by emailing him at: jonathan.chipman@gmail.com
DARTMOUTH TRAIL PASSES AGAIN TOMORROW:
Mike Silverman will be at Oak Hill again tomorrow to hand out passes. If you have not received yours, please find him tomorrow. Skiers and their families are expected to wear the ski pass in the armband while skiing on Dartmouth trails.
Please remember, there will be NO PRACTICE next TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, for the 2&3 Day Programs.
FORD SAYRE STORE:
We still have Ford Sayre t-shirts in all sizes for $5. Shirts, and other great items, can be ordered on our online gear store, and will be delivered at a future practice.
LOST and FOUND
We will have a small lost and found box in the back of Ashley’s car (Subaru with a tiger). Any items that are found will go in this bucket. If a child leaves a backpack at the Dartmouth cabin, we will leave it there assuming that someone will be back to retrieve it.
ANY QUESTIONS ON PRACTICE OR EQUIPMENT?
Reach out to us! We’re always here to field your questions and receive your comments. Let us know if we can help! Ashley & Peter (802) 649-2159 bkl@fordsayre.org

A message to those heading to MSA on the 27th from Emily Silver aka Mt-Ste-Anne-Organizer-Extraordinaire:
Hello skier families,
As of right now, there is no snow at Monte-Sainte-Anne, but there is some snow in the forecast.
If you want to cancel without losing the cost of all of your nights, you would need to do so by 11pm Sunday, Dec. 13th. Even in doing that you would lose 50% of the cost of your reservation, and the reservation cannot be moved to a different date. Unfortunately the policy is strict during holiday time.
If you have a reservation – whether you are canceling or not – please email me at emily.silver@thet.net to let me know you are aware of the hotel’s policy and so I know that everyone has seen this message.
Let’s hope we start seeing more snow in the forecast!
Emily
