  2. important dates: We're adding events/dates to our club event calendar, to which you can easily navigate from the sidebar of this "club updates" page we stick in your face every week--but it's also right here: https://www.craftsbury.com/csc-event-calendar. Dates of note that are coming up pretty fast:

    • Sunday, December 15th @ 4:30pm: kickoff social/info session for all adult/masters programs (spouses, etc. welcome, and we'll probably have an optional ski beforehand)

JUNIORS:

  1. Looking ahead: Here are all the details that exist so far re: the Eastern Cup schedule & Craftsbury’s team travel plans.

  2. Racing licenses: speaking of racing, if you’re interested in doing Eastern Cups, you need to hop on purchasing US Ski & Snowboard and NENSA memberships ASAP. You can read more about what you need and for what kind of racing at this blog post. Holler with questions; it can be confusing.

BKL:

  1. First practices are Tuesday, 12/10.

  2. Equipment rentals: should be wrapped up pronto, pretty please.

BIATHLETES:

  2. Always Bring: Hat, dry gloves (mittens don’t work for shooting a rifle), poles, dry shirt (U14s and up- plan to ALWAYS change into dry stuff after ski practice).
