Update: Practice is canceled for today – Thursday, January 15 — We were hoping for snow in this storm, but the rain has wiped out more snow at Tomasi. We are canceling practice for today for JackRabbits and Arctic Foxes. Racers and Devos your practice is still on at Sleepy Hollow. In the meantime check out this neat old ski movie featuring Vermont Olympian Bill Koch and some Putney, VT Youth Skiers at practice – The Nordic Experience.
Tomasi took a hit with the rain on Saturday night and things are a bit icy. Coach Peter is going to groom Tuesday for skate skiing. But because of the conditions we are going cancel Penguins tomorrow and encourage those that join us to be intermediate to advanced skiers. It will be very challenging skiing for kids that are just learning and still finding their ski legs. Please email your child’s coach if you aren’t sure of if they should come. Ski Group List
Penguins are canceled for tomorrow Tuesday, January 13.
