Cold weather, shorter practices and Wednesday Practice Time Change

Dear MAST Families:

1.  The temps continue to be very cold in case you hadn't noticed.  However, if the athletes dress with multiple layers and stay moving on the hill, they seem to be able to make it through the duration of practice.  While the temps remain in the single digits or lower, we will be cutting practices down to two hours.  
The athletes should be ready for pick up at the two hour mark until the temps warm into the double digits.  So....  
3:30-5:30pm
5:00-7:00pm
6:30-8:30pm

2. 53 athletes are racing at Welch on Wednesday so we are going to hold just one practice that evening from 5-7PM.  Matthew and Eleanor and any volunteer coaches who are free to assist will run the practice.   We have Lanes C and B so you will be using the chair lift.   Take advantage of the excellent terrain on these lanes and come to practice if you are not racing.  
So.... no practice from 3:30-5:30 and no practice from 6:30-8:30 on Wednesday.  Just 5-7PM.

Thanks
Mark
