MAST UPDATE #4
Sunday, September 29, 2025
Hello MAST Athletes, Parents & Friends:
Wow!  Another gorgeous week of extended summer weather!  We hope you were able to take advantage.  It’s hard to believe we are jetting our way into October and so many exciting MAST happenings!  October brings us registration, the MASTers golf tournament, MAST day at Pierce, Captains’ practices and much more.  You’ll find all the details below. 
Additionally, please refer to Update #3 for information regarding race equipment / ski swaps, requests for on-hill parent volunteers and suggestions on how to help with our ongoing marketing blitz. 
IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES
MAST Information Night for New Athletes and Families
“Orientation to High School Ski Racing and MAST”

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 at 7-8PM  (Tomorrow!)
Lynnhurst Recreation Center
1345 W Minnehaha Parkway Minneapolis, MN  55410

Open to MPS students grades 7-12 and caregivers. A night to learn about the Minneapolis Alpine Ski Team and how we create lifelong skiers and exceptional citizens. Meet coaches and racers on the team. Learn what the season looks like. Learn about racing equipment and how and where to purchase race equipment. 
Registration and Rostering
MAST Registration will open online on October 1.  Here is a link to TeamSnap Registration Instructions for the MAST registration portion.  We will resend this information again on Wednesday 10/1, along with the official registration link.  A second registration date and link to register with MPS Athletic Dept will follow in our 10/26 Update.  Reminder that both registrations are required and both carry separate fees: MAST $300 and MPS Winter Athletics $75.  See the respective registration sites/instructions for scholarship requests. 
If you are new to MAST or have a new athlete in your family joining the team this season, please complete the NEW ATHLETE INQUIRY FORM that can be found on our website. Some of you have already done this, so thank you for taking that first step with MAST.   
MASTers Golf Tournament
Join us for the 6th Annual MASTers Golf Tournament! This adults-only fundraiser is a casual round of scramble golf for fun... all are welcome!  But the kids get to sit this one out. Dinner and beverages will be served in the clubhouse afterwards and we will be holding a raffle to earn extra funds. 
Time & Location: October 1st, 4pm @ Lake Hiawatha Golf Course
Cost: $75/person
Raffle tickets: $20 each
To SIGN UP: MASTers Tournament Sign Up Link

If you have something to donate please email Ali Krueger ([email protected])

*Ideas for donations: Gift cards at stores/restaurants, access to sporting events, wine, golf gear, an experience, apparel/ equipment, tickets – nothing is too big or too small – we just appreciate your generosity!
MAST Equipment Day at Pierce Skate and Ski
Wednesday, October 8,  4pm - 9pm.   Call ahead to make an appointment.   952-884-1990
Pierce Skate and Ski offers special pre-season pricing for racers. Just let them know you ski with MAST. 
The staff at Pierce asks that you make an appointment in advance if you are purchasing skis and/or boots this Fall. A boot fitting appointment can take up to 90 minutes if done properly, so plan accordingly. If you need poles, tuning equipment, clothing, or protective gear, you are welcome to just walk-in.   Any of the Head Coaches is also willing to talk through your equipment needs with you. One other tip, download a clip of your best run from your Sprongo account when you go to buy new equipment. This will help the salesperson to better match the equipment to your skill level.   Please see the attached letter from our kind and experienced friends at Pierce Skate and Ski.
HYLAND Season Passes - Now on Sale!
MAST practices are held at Hyland Hills Ski Area. If you aren’t one of the 25 skiers who paid for Season Passes last Spring already, save the sales tax (which is about $45) on your Hyland Season Pass by sending or dropping a check for $499 made out to “Mpls Alpine” to Brenda Hunter-Hanson to arrive before Oct 29, 2025 at the address below.  Season passes will be available for pickup at Hyland Hills Nov. 10 at the Season Pass Pick Up night.

Brenda Hunter-Hanson
5312 Colfax Ave S
Minneapolis, MN  55419

Alternatively, passes are on sale on-line with Hyland for $499+tax until Nov 1, then increase to $524+tax.  
MAST ONLINE EQUIPMENT SWAP
Visit our MAST equipment swap inventory to find (and post) used skis, equipment, and clothing being offered by MAST skiers.  Contact your coach listed below to make sure you are buying the right equipment (sizing, etc), if in doubt.  To post items for sale please see Update #3 for instructions (link included above) or please email [email protected] and [email protected].  If you have sold items, please email the same addresses as soon as possible so we may update our inventory selection.  Thank you for recycling equipment and helping keep our community outfitted.
