Devo Update

We had great training last weekend. Nighthawk was challenging both days and the training was as good as it gets. We are going to be more than ready for Kelly Canyon this weekend. Everyone gave a good effort last weekend, had a great attitude and skied well. Wednesday night we will train G.S. on the Upper Ridge and then we're off to Kelly Canyon.

I have everyone going to Kelly this weekend. Somewhere in the back of my brain, I am thinking there might have been a couple of people that will only be there for one day. Please remind me who you are. I need to send entries in tomorrow. We will have a team meeting at the Ameritel Spectrum at 8:00 in the lobby. We will make it short since the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics will be on T.V. If you cannot make the meeting please call me after 8:30 pm to get the information. My cell # is 208-412-8565. The entries fees for the race are $18.00 per day. Please send your entry fees in to Shannon for the race. Lift tickets for competitors are $20.00. You will be able to pick those up at the ticket window, the morning of the race. Parents will also receive a $5.00 discount if you bring your season pass. The regular price for an adult lift ticket is $30.00.

Please come with your skis prepared for Saturday. There will not be any time on Friday night to get those done. McU Sports is bringing their Ski Technician, Matt Cantrill to help us with tuning and waxing on Saturday. Talk about "big time". I have to admit this is the first race that we've ever traveled with our own technician. I have reserved a meeting room on Saturday night night where we can tune and wax for Sunday. BBSRA will bring some benches and tarps. If any of you have benches and tarps please bring them. Matt will be available Saturday night to help our athletes with waxing and tuning. The room is reserved from 6:00-9:00pm. I will let you know the waxing schedule on Friday but I am thinking we will separate the J4's and the J5's.

On to the training center. I need the Devo Team to dig in and help keep the Training Center clean. Right now we are still allowing food in the Training Center but those days might be numbered if we can't clean up after ourselves. Please use the trash cans. Hopefully, I won't need to mention this again, but if I do... it might mean that we are banning food in the Training Center. Believe me...we don't want to do that.

And lastly, thanks to Molly Mannschreck who has volunteered to ride the bus on the 22nd. I am still looking for someone this Wednesday and the following Wednesday. Any volunteers? We'd really appreciate it if you have the time.
Thanks for a great weekend. See you on Wednesday.
