Some dates and details....

Hello team! - Well the season is winding down and the snow is winding up! What a crazy weekend and I woke up this am in Government Camp to another 4 inches of snow! Well at least we are assured of plenty of snow for our Spring Break Camp!

Some upcoming dates and details.....

First of all - A HUGE, HUGE thanks to the coaches and athletes and parents who helped us take down 40 rolls of B-Net from Mt. Hood Lane on Sunday afternoon. What started as - each group take down two nets (one in the am and one in the pm) turned into clearing all the B-Net off the hill! Honestly it was the kids who led the charge - they made it a game and their energy and excitement was contagious - so the adults just kept working! Melissa Fong just wouldn't stop pulling out the nets (her workout for the day), Alan S and Tony C just kept digging, Arne started pulling out nets and also wouldn't quit till the whole thing was done. Coach Stephen kept the training going and rounded up the kids to also pull the gates and brushes. We blame the whole project on coach Ben W. who just pulled out a net or two "for fun" and then the whole project just "snowballed." At the end of the day I heard Ben say, "Not in my wildest dreams were we ever going to get all these B-Nets off the hill today, what an amazing crew!" Nonetheless, getting those nets off the hill was a huge job and it would have only been made worse by the upcoming additional snow, warm weather and freezing temps. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Upcoming Training Dates - Please RSVP so we can plan. We know that many kids are on to other sports so some of our groups are getting smaller. Your RSVP is really important to our planning, the earlier the better.

Congratulations and some details.....

Congratulations and Some Details...

Congratulations to EVERYONE who participated in this weekend's Ski-A-Thon and Team Event. For everyone who is new this year - I think now you may understand why this is my favorite day of the year! Watching all the kids - from LTR to Academy lapping on Green Chair, getting through all the courses and challenging themselves in the Speed Trap! Is is so much fun to watch.

A BIG Thanks to the Academy parents for hosting our BBQ at the bottom of the Handletow so we could all be spectators for the Team Event - Dual Slalom Double Elimination Relay Race. Watching the big kids help the little kids and the little kids watching their bigger teammates ripping down the course is so exciting. I am sure that EVERY kid there pushed themselves a little faster to help their team, show their coaches and their parents and prove to themselves that they are better than when they started. I am sure that your own kids surprised you because they sure surprised me! Thanks Geir and Kristen Eide for organizing the Candy Dash - I am sure all of the parents also thank you for giving their kids bags of candy. The Eides have been storing and sorting candy since our first scheduled date for the Ski-A-Thon back in December! Thanks also to Erin Graves, Renee Shirley and everyone who volunteered to set up, take down and count laps. Thanks coaches for keeping the courses in good shape, keeping the speed trap safe and helping out wherever help was needed. Thanks Coach Chachi for your beautiful Blue Dye all over the place. And last of all thanks to our own Vin Scully (hopefully some of you know who that is) for announcing all day until the batteries on the microphone were dead - Rick Graves - thank you for your interesting tid-bits, jokes and imaginary facts throughout the day!

Please be patient with the groups as we try to sort all athletes by age and ability to maximize learning. If you have any comments about groups you are welcome to email me your input - karen@mhsef.org.

Please resist the urge to follow your child and their group around the mountain. Let them meet new and old friends and become a part of their group.
