Hello BW Team!

Fantastic weekend at Mission Ridge! Well done to all of our athletes- they skied well, had fun and then turned it up even more on Sunday! Many thanks to Shelley Moore and Tracy Beck for accommodation, dinner and ticket organization.  And to all of the parents for hauling coats and cheering! The TAS cheering squad was the loudest on the hill by far- with people commenting when they heard the noise that it must be a TAS racer!

Next Race:

The Dave Kincaid Memorial (I-90 Cup) is this Sunday!! Please register your athlete here.

For race day we'll meet at the start of the race at 8:40am- athletes will break into J4, J5 and J6 groups for inspection with a coach. Please try to get in a warm-up run before meeting- lifts for athletes open at 8:30am- that means be at registration at 7:30am.  There's no van for race day on Sunday.

As parents, please remember to cheer loudly, feed your kids a healthy breakfast and lunch and volunteer to work the race- this is a TAS event and it's important that everyone participate. 

To volunteer please contact Darrell Zeldes: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

We have a fantastic coaching staff- remember you cheer...and we'll coach!
