MAST UPDATE #2
Sunday, September 13, 2026 Dear MAST Athletes & Caregivers: Thank you to all who helped with our annual State Fair Barn Cleanup Fundraiser! Despite some hiccups with the garbage trucks, you hung in there to finish the job with good cheer! This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, as well as a great team builder, and was a great success! Thanks to Aaron Hasler for organizing! Our Fall Marketing Blitz is in full swing so please make sure to put out those MAST yard signs, share our social media posts, and talk to your friends about the camaraderie, strength, and good times MAST provides! Help us continue to build and sustain our team for all the years ahead. If you need a MAST yard sign, please email or text Heather Hunt and she will get a sign to you. heatherhunt710@gmail.com / 612-860-7608 MASTers GOLF TOURNAMENT Join us for the 7th Annual MASTers Golf Tournament!

Time & Location: Thursday, 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! EXPANDING OUR COACHING STAFF We are looking to expand our coaching staff this year! If you or someone you know would be interested, please reach out to Paige Alampi or Janelle Voyakin. VOLUNTEER NEEDS The strength of MAST is highly dependent on parental involvement. Please join us in making this season a success! Current volunteer needs:
EQUIPMENT Assess your equipment needs now All racers need SLALOM skis and racing boots. Learn about the equipment you need and how to size and select equipment on our website: MAST Equipment Info Check out our Ski Swap Inventory first. Here is where MAST skiers list their used equipment for sale. Check back often, as new items are posted weekly during the Fall period. And if you are a MAST skier (current or alum) who wants to sell your skis, boots, poles, GS Suit, whatever, fill out the Mast Equipment Swap Sale Form and then send photos to Bill Bray at [email protected] to get them posted now, before teammates start shopping elsewhere. If you sell an item, please let Bill know to remove it from the posting so you aren’t bothered by more requests. Ski Swaps available for purchasing USED ski equipment: Be very clear you are shopping for a MAST alpine racer shopping for Slalom race gear. Ask for a salesperson who is knowledgeable in ski race gear. The race stuff goes fastest so you are far more likely to find things if you go on the early end.
Race dates are forthcoming, but one we know about and always like to plan in advance for is the MLK Giants Ridge Race Saturday, January 16th. Those invited will be the top 6-7 boys and girls in each of the three schools: Washburn, Southwest, and MAST (which is all other schools). If you think your athlete might be selected to attend, it is suggested to secure accommodations in or near Biwabik or Virginia, MN that can be cancelled. Lodging fills earlier than you would think and some of our racers have had trouble finding accommodations if they wait until rosters are announced. ROSTERING AND REGISTRATION Registration with MAST will open October 1. More information on the registration process to come. IMPORTANT DATES
