MAST Parent Social and Ski Racing Workshops
Sunday, October 14, 2018

Back by popular demand, we bring you the MAST Parent Party and Workshop! For those of you unfamiliar with this event, last year we combined the parent kick off meeting, the volunteer workshop and the parent social into ONE BIG PARTY! Attend workshops on everything from ‘What is Ski Racing’ to ‘Advanced Ski Tuning’ and more. We’ll have chili & cornbread, beer & wine. AND start training for the Second Annual All Parent Race. Jeremy Graff and Greg Abel will be defending their title, and the right to hold onto The Golden Ski.
WHEN: Sunday, October 14 from 3:00-7:00*
WHERE: The Tanner’s Home at 18 Park Lane on Cedar Lake in Minneapolis
​              (some activities will be outside, dress appropriately)

WHO: MAST parents new and ‘experienced’
WHY: Because it will be fun, you’ll see old friends and meet new ones, and you’ll learn a thing or two!

 *Workshops will be offered from 3:15-6:00. Our Second Annual All Parent Race will be from 6:00-7:00
