Week 3

Announcements –

Jacket Orders – 

If you signed up to purchase a team warm up jacket, the cost is $62.00. Please do your best to turn in the money by mid - next week to either myself or coach Frielinghaus. Once we have everyone’s payment the school will send in one check to get the order rolling. If you are paying by check, make them out to ‘Queensbury Schools’.

Wednesday, Goals Day - 
Wednesday will be our team / individual goals day. On Monday I will go over this in more depth and can give you some examples. For returning skiers, it should be easier for you to form specific goals since all of you have a baseline from last season. Put thought into this! We will be revisiting these throughout the course of the season. New skiers: I know you might feel a bit in the dark on this as there is a lot about the sport that is still unknown, but it’s still good to learn the process.

Section 2 Skate Clinic at Mount Van Hoevenberg -
Saturday, December 12th ORDA/Section 2 will be hosting a skate technique Nordic clinic at Mount Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid. Details are here. Note that the cost for this includes a FREE season pass to Mount Van Hoevenberg! Register in advance at http://www.hurtnordicskiing.com/events.html. Makes checks payable to Hudson United Racing Team
