Retreat Topics:
Required for all Parents! Please Sign the NEW MSAA SKI AREA WAIVER - takes just five minutes, link below! We have been informed that this year there is just one single ski area waiver for you to sign that will cover all ski hills. If you’ve already filled out a waiver, you still need to fill out this one. Important! When you fill out this waiver, please use the exact same skier name that you used to sign up with Team Snap. Below is a link to the list of Team Snap skier names. Make sure you fill out the waiver with the exact same name as on this list (even down to hyphen or no hyphen in last name). Why? Almost every time in the past, at various ski areas, there is a discrepancy with the waiver name and the name we’ve submitted for ski passes, and the skier is unable to ski until it gets straightened out with the Ski Area. This isn’t something you want before a race, as you would rather be getting some valuable practice runs in. MSAA Ski Area Waiver Form (You can’t ski anywhere in Minnesota without signing this) List of Skier Names to match with waiver form. (Please verify the waiver name you enter for your skier(s) matches the name in this list. If the name isn’t right in this list or is missing, let your Core Parent know right away.) MAST Family Contact Roster We’ll be sending out a team roster with contact information for parents and athletes. This roster can be used to reach out to families who live near you to form car pools, ask advice or offer assistance (like how to tune skis). No other use would be respectful. For those of you in witness protection or living off the grid, if you do not want your name, phone numbers, address, email addresses, or any other contact information listed, please send us an email and we will redact that information from the roster. TEAM SNAP Races, dryland practices, and supplemental dates are already on the Team Snap calendar. Check it out! Be sure to download the app on your phone. A few races are still TBD and dates will be added when they’re confirmed. Refer to Update #9 for more info on Team Snap. On-snow practices will begin as soon as we have snow and will be held every day, Monday - Saturday. Come as often as you can, but keep a healthy school/life/work/ski balance! Exact daily times will be available soon. *New change - We’ve decided to combine the MAST girls and boys teams into one team for ease of communication with your coach, Daniel Polland. This may also assist with carpooling communications. IMPORTANT REMINDERS Additional information can be found in Update #8:
