Thank you to Jed & Susan Kendall for hosting the Masters kick-off party Saturday night.  Great time, great friends and here’s to a great season!

Our first race is in the books – thanks to the volunteers and participants for making it happen. Best wishes for a safe and happy New Year to all!

Results: Race Team/Masters

At the request of Head Coach Karen Lundgren, we are having a GS rather than a SL race for the first Goldsmith’s race.  The original reasoning was that since the first USSA races are SL, we would reinforce the training with a SL race for the Goldsmith’s.  Now, since the racers will benefit from a week of SL racing in the Christmas Camp, those who attended the Clifford Mann Open SL & GS race were only able to do the SL portion, and also the older racers who are racing FIS have a Divisional SG & GS race in Squaw on January 4-7, it made sense to train GS and race GS this weekend.

We are sorry for the late notice.

Jed & Susan Kendall are hosting a Masters kick-off party next Saturday, December 29th at 5:30 pm.

41992 Switzerland (at the corner of Switzerland and Crestwood near Snow Summit).  Parking is limited.  You can park up at Snow Summit or down at Laura’s house (585 Crestwood Dr).

Dinner will be provided – just bring your favorite beverage.  Casual attire.

Please RSVP to the Kendalls at kendalls2@sbcglobal.net or 949-633-9120.
