News and Announcements
Good Afternoon Parents!
The booster club is looking to have a fun teambuilding and fundraising event! We are going to have the skiers meet up to sell Papa Murphy’s pizza cards in the community. The booster club will divide the skiers into groups, then the skiers will go out into the community to sell the cards. At the end the skiers will meet at a specified restaurant to eat and enjoy the bragging rights of how many cards their group sold. This event is a great opportunity for all different skiers to be paired up and get to know one another. Please take the poll below by Monday January 10th to indicate which date works best for your family. We want to get as many skiers as possible to participate since the camaraderie and funds benefit the entire team.

End of Season Banquet, busing to races, pasta feeds and more
Good morning Huskies,
The Board is looking for volunteers to help with the End of Season Banquet. We had a few parents interested in helping with the banquet, if you are interested in helping with the banquet, please send an email to mkrafty95@gmail.com. We are needing help with decorations, end of season video, senior boards, and more.
We’ve heard from some parents asking about busing to races. As of right now, on race days, please assume the school district is providing busing to races. If there is a change, and a bus is not available, a notification will be sent out to parents letting them know that no busing is available. Please note that bus times vary depending upon race times. Throughout the season, communication on bus times have been communicated through the captains on the GroupMe app to skiers. The captains have created a new GroupMe for the whole team (i.e. the boys and girls teams are in one GroupMe group). Please have your skier contact a captain to make sure they are in the new GroupMe group . This will help ensure all skiers are receiving the most recent information on busing and information for the season.
You may be wondering about what happened to the pasta feeds this season. Please know that the Board is trying to coordinate pasta feeds for the team. Unfortunately, its been difficult to coordinate pasta feeds for the team this season due to the ski waxing location(s) changes. If anyone knows or has access to a location that is big enough to host waxing and pasta feeds for the team, please contact a board member.
We wanted to let parents know that a Papa Murphy Blitz will be taking place on January 22, 2022, with January 29, 2022 as a back up date. More information will be sent on this event at a later date.
