BSF Team to Western States in 2008

GET EXCITED FOR WESTERN STATES YOUTH NORDIC FESTIVAL IN SUNNY VALLEY!
All J5 second year, J4, and J3 skiers are invited/encouraged to go!!

Here is a little preliminary information for the trip:

1. Headbands – Just bring $2 on the bus to purchase your sweet BSF headband.

2. Questions? – email Kristen – bsf_nordic@yahoo.com, Gro – groaaselunde@gmail.com, or Heidi – dwyermontana@gmail.com

3. Departure – from the High School at 7:00AM sharp on Friday, February 27th. Get there 15 minutes before to load up. Don’t be late; we can’t wait!

4. Return – late Sunday night, March 1st. 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.

5. What to 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. If you want, you can bring movies to watch on the bus!

6. Traveling with skis – very important. In a ski bag, bring skate and classic poles, skate skis cleaned and brushed so we can ski the course right away on Friday. Also bring classic skis with glide wax left on the tips and tails, and CLEAN kick-zones (no old kick wax left on), clean side-walls and glide wax on glide-zones only.

7. Race Waxes – will be provided by BSF.

8. 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). Breakfast and lunch and the banquet on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday are included in fees. Bring money for dinner Sunday night on the return trip from McCall.

9. Cost for the trip – will be similar to last year. The more skiers we bring, the lower the cost for lodging and travel in that beautiful, big, safe Karst Stage!

10. Coaches for the adventure – 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!!!

NOTE: We are not able to accommodate parents traveling with the team. Complete payment must be received in advance to travel with the team—no exceptions.
