· Mon Nov 13, 02:34 PM by Kristen Westesen
IMPORTANT TRIP INFORMATION:
Please send me an email (bsf_nordic@yahoo.com) to let me know that your skier will be joining us so that I can include them in our BSF team registration. I will need to know their full name and birth date and t-shirt size.
DEPARTURE: from the High School at 7:00AM sharp on Friday, February 29th. Get there a little before to load up. Don’t be late; we can’t wait!
RETURN: late Sunday night, March 2nd. Your skier will call you from the bus when we get close to town so you’ll know when to meet us at the High School.
BRING: In addition to the usual travel clothing, be sure to bring running shoes, your BSF ski clothes (Please label BSF clothes. We all have the same stuff), long underwear, hats, gloves, mittens, warm socks, extra socks, a warm coat, water bottle, a watch/alarm clock, homework, books. Please DO NOT BRING electronic devices other than music players. No video games, DVD players, etc.—it’s a BSF team travel policy. DO BRING movies to watch on the bus!
Very important—in a ski bag, bring skate and classic poles, skate skis with glide wax left on (don’t scrape it off). We call this travel wax. It protects the ski bases from damage in transit. Also bring classic skis with glide wax and CLEAN kick-zones (no old kick wax left on), clean side-walls and glide wax on glide-zones only.
RACE WAXES: Will be provided by BSF.
FOOD: Bring sack lunch and snacks for the bus ride on Friday; cost for dinner on Friday is included in fees (so we can pay as a team). Bring money for dinner Sunday on the return trip from McCall. Breakfast and lunch Saturday and Sunday are included in fees.
COACHES: Kristen and Gro and others tbd.
The BSF Nordic Board is kicking in $1000 from funds raised through the BSF Auction to help with our transportation expenses. Thanks to everyone who supported the auction!!! Trip costs will be coming in a future email.
We will not be able to accommodate parents traveling with the team. Complete payment must be received in advance to travel with the team—no exceptions.
