Information for the 2&3 Day Program:
Location: See notes below Time: 3:30-4:30 Technique: see below Wax Recommendation: see below Upcoming Race: Mansfield Duathlon (at Craftsbury) this Sunday. Go here for up-to-date event information. Or here to register through SkiReg.org (Parents, there’s a masters class for you, too!) Ford Sayre race organization doc will come out tomorrow. Notes:
- Oak Hill and Garipay conditions won’t seem to cooperate, so we have another solution…
- Practice tomorrow will be by towns:
- Hanover/Norwich kids who are able and eager to get out, please join us at the Millikens’ house in Norwich, for crust SKATE skiing in the meadows. Drive to the top of Happy Hill Rd, take a right into #160, drive all the way to the house turn around near the garage, turn around and drive back out and park on the right side of the driveway facing the road as far to the right side as possible. Please drive SLOWLY on Happy Hill Rd – it is a one lane road with a blind curve and is dangerous. We will aim to start around 3:30 but please don’t rush.
- Thetford/Lyme kids: Lyme and Thetford skiers will be skiing in Lyme, with Jay Davis coordinating timing, technique and logistics with those families.
- Kids from other towns: Join in where you wish!
- Meadow Skiing January 20, 2015
Intrepid Skiers,
Mother Nature is not making it easy for us to gather to ski as a group BUT there is very good local skiing to be had. Many of our local meadows have set up for perfect crust skiing. I just spent 45 minutes classic skiing on waxless skis at our house and it was fantastic! So while we do not have an official practice today why not go find a meadow to ski on?
If you have no access to a meadow near your home then any and all could ski at our local meadows by parking carefully at the turnaround at the end of Happy Hill Road in Norwich or along our driveway at 160 Happy Hill.
So get out there and email us a picture of your meadow adventure!

Cross your fingers for Thursday!
Ashley and Peter
