MAST Update Week Seven: December 27, 2021

12/26/2021

 
MAST Update Week 7
Sunday, December 27, 2021

Dear MAST Athletes, Coaches and Parents:

Hopefully all of you have had a wonderful holiday weekend. 
We have a terrific training block scheduled this week. Morning and afternoon practices Monday through Thursday, and morning training on Friday and Saturday.  
Here’s the full schedule for Week 7. Take advantage of this opportunity to ski a lot of gates. Push yourself. Get a lot of mileage in gates over the next six days. Be on time.  Watch your video on Sprongo. Set goals for yourself. Work with your coaches to make daily improvements. Tune your skis every day. The training lanes are icy. You will need sharp edges and you want to keep those bases waxed.

Races Resume Week Eight: State Your Race Intentions
We have three races scheduled in Week Eight:
  1. Varsity and JV: Monday, January 3 vs Wayzata at Hyland
  2. Varsity: Wednesday, January 5 vs Metro East at Afton
  3. JV: Friday, January 7 at Hyland.
Please state your race intentions for the Week 8 Races by Wednesday, Dec. 29.
https://www.mplsalpineski.org/race-day-sign-up.html
You may also state your intentions for the remaining races on the schedule. 

Race Day Transportation
Mpls Public Schools informed me last week that they are having trouble finding buses/drivers to transport our athletes to our AWAY races: Jan 5 at Afton, Jan 11 at Welch, Jan 17 at Wild, Jan 28 at Afton, Feb 3 at Welch, and Feb 9 at Wild. We may need parents to help transport athletes to and from these races. More to come.

Giants Ridge Camp Refunds
Thank you to everyone who elected to send a portion of your Giants Ridge Camp refund to Camp Chicagami. I sent a $1575.00 donation to Randy on Christmas Eve. Denise Wilkens, our accountant, and I will be sending refund checks sometime this week. If you would still like to make a donation to Camp Chicagami, here is the address: 

Camp Chicagami
Attn: Randy
3755 Scout Camp Rd
Eveleth, MN 55734 

I received checks from several families just before we made the decision to cancel camp. These checks were never deposited. For this reason, I will rip up the following checks from the following families:
Check # 7822: Geere
Check # 7552: Heindl
Check # 1486: Moldow
Check # 7084: Renz
Check # 1159: Rulf
Check # 5299 and #5300: Vahhaji 

I am very disappointed that we had to cancel camp for a second year in a row. I believe it was the prudent thing to do however. We have already had more cases of COVID run through our team this year than we did all last season. And everyone is vaccinated.   Fortunately, no one has been seriously ill, so the vaccines seem to be working. Please stay vigilant. Wear masks in your carpools and in the chalet. Let’s stay healthy MAST. 

See you at first light tomorrow.
