Apres Saturdays are Here
We are pleased to announce that starting this Saturday, January 12th from 2 – 4pm, we will have a cash bar set up in the Kandahar room for parents to enjoy a few beverages while waiting for their racers to finish on the hill.

Please join us every Saturday this season for some apres ski!
Volunteers Needed!
Home Races @ Blue begin this Saturday!
Please click here to signup and volunteer for our Home Races. You do not have to have a child in the race to volunteer for the race. Remember our Club relies on volunteers to help run a successful race. Without volunteers, we could not host races so please step up and get involved. The best seats for the race are on the race course, not at the bottom of the hill beyond the safety fencing!

Don't forget that you don't have to have a child in the race to be cheering for our Jozo team! Feel free to bring your cowbells and your Jozo branded clothing to the finish line and cheer for our kids! Lets be loud and proud!!!

Coaches Corner
Thank you to everyone – athletes, coaches, race crew, administrators, parents, volunteers, and Blue Mountain – for such a successful first weekend!

This Weekend at Blue Mountain:
 
As you know, there are quite a few teams racing this weekend including U12, U14 and U16.

On Sunday January 13, 2019, we are hosting a U14 GS race on Smart Alec for Alpine Ontario and the SOD Clubs in Bracket 4 of the U14 schedule. We will not have any teams or alpine ski racers in this race, however, we have kindly offered to host a race to help support this grouping. 

This Weekend Away from Blue: 

On Saturday January 12, 2019, the U12 Blasters and U12 Stars are racing at Mansfield in a Panelled Slalom (PSL) event and the U12 Supernovas and U12 Meteors are at Alpine for a Panelled Slalom (PSL) race.

We have advised our coaches to meet their athletes at the clubs at 7:45am.

Friday Training at Blue Mountain:
 
Friday Training will occur every Friday starting this Friday January 11, 2019. We kindly ask that all athletes sign up no later than the end of day on the Wednesday before. Friday Training begins at 8:45am and ends at 3:00pm.

We are implementing a deadline in order to schedule the appropriate number and selection of coaches for our Friday training sessions.

Racing and Freestyle Webpage on Blue Mountain Website:
 
Blue Mountain sent out a communication in December to all race families with information on the month ahead. I just wanted to highlight again that we also implemented a Race and Freestyle specific information page for all families to refer to for information regarding Alpine Ontario, Parent Handbook, 2019 Race Schedule, 2019 Race Results AND a Freestyle section. This information is updated weekly, so please check back here in a day or so for all of this weekend’s information. 

The URL for the webpage is: https://www.bluemountain.ca/plan-your-trip/lessons/snow-school/race-programs/racing-at-blue.

Finally, we would also like to congratulate all of our U14 and U16 OCUP racers on their races this past weekend at Mansfield and Alpine! Have a wonderful first week back at school.

Best Regards, 
Anna
