Hi,

Please take a look at the pictures I’ve taken this season:

I apologise if I didn’t get everyone; our kids ski really fast, its difficult to keep pace and I didn’t make every race!

If there are any other photographers out there who would like to share their pictures, please send me the link and I will post them.

It’s been a great season and congratulations to the Staples Ski Team!

The CISL State Open Race will be held on Tuesday March 5th, 2019.  The buses leave Staples at 12:30pm and racing starts at 3:30pm at Mount Southington.

This is the last race of the season and always has a great atmosphere.  A huge spectator event, so please grab your cameras, your cowbells and your Staples banners and join us all as we shout for the Staples Wreckers!!

As always, the race will be live on Live Timing.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Staples Ski Team.

The next race has been moved up to Tuesday, February 26th (from the 27th).  There will be no practice on Monday, February 25th instead we will host the pasta dinners that night.

The Boys’ pasta dinner will be held at the Howards – 199 Bayberry Ln – at 5:30pm.

The Girls’s pasta dinner will be held at the Basslers –  40 Sturges Common – also at 5:30pm.

Please can all parent volunteers who signed up for the postponed February 12th dinners provide the same food/items for the Monday dinners (see previous links for SignUp Genius).

Many thanks.

Due to tomorrow’s  storm, we are postponing the Pasta Dinners until a later date (most likely February 26th).

Thanks to all those that volunteered for tomorrow.  Please can you bring the same food/drinks/items to the rescheduled dinner!

Hopefully, the storm will have cleared out by the Wednesday race.  Best of Luck!
