MAST Update Week Thirteen
Sunday, February 6, 2022

Good Morning MAST Athletes, Families, Coaches:

Yesterday, we had our second to last Saturday morning training and our fifth and last supplemental training session. I took great joy in watching you ski. Your improvement in just twelve short weeks is quite remarkable and speaks to how hard you worked and how deeply you focused on making small improvements each practice. We have eight training/racing dates remaining on our calendar. Please take advantage of these. We will be revisiting all six of the fundamental skills you have been developing. More improvement is possible. Keep up the hard work and finish the season strong.

• We have excellent lanes tomorrow... Lanes 1 and 2 for all three practice sessions. 
• Section IV Championships at Wild on Wednesday. 
• NO practice on Wednesday. Our coaches will be at Wild so we cannot staff practice that evening.
  
• We have one final race on Friday. At this point, Jefferson and Wayzata will be joining us. This race will be open to any athlete who did NOT race at Wild in the Section IV Champs. Alternates are welcome to race. Training for those who did race at Section Champs.  
  
• We have our last Saturday morning practice on the 12th. It would be great to have everyone THERE, ready to load the lift at 7:55am.
• The MN State HS Alpine Championships will be held on Wednesday, February 16. We will offer training Monday (5-7:15; 6:30-8:45) and Tuesday (5-7:15) next week.

B. Race Workers Needed
We will need race workers for this last race. Our athletes have worked hard this winter, and it would be very nice to give them another high-quality race experience to measure their progress since they first clicked into their bindings back in November.https://signup.com/go/GJGWrhh
