Jan 10th - 16th

 Hi Squad

So a few notes for this week:

1- Jackrabbits and Bunnies start this week and run until March Break so the stadium will be a little busy on Tuesdays. Their program runs from 4pm-5pm after that the stadium will be good to go. Squad we want to set a good example for the younger skiers and be respectful of their practice. Please don't get in the way of their games and drills, so no zooming down the bumps or skiing down the backside of the berm where the flag poles are.

2- The Nightspeed series is starting up again!!!! They will take place on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. The races are 10$ each and the registration is online through Zone 4. The registration closes the day of the race at 12pm. The pre-race meetings/info session is at 6pm in the stadium. I don't have the registration link yet and have not seen it on Zone 4 but I'm sure it will be up either later today or tomorrow.

More info:

Race start at 6:15pm (in stadium)  
Mass Start: Mass start area will open 2 minutes prior to the race start and all racers must keep physical distancing. (**depending on the number of racers there will be 1-3 mass starts, with each being a minute apart and a few staging areas)
Enduro style Freestyle Race (preferably skate, but can be classic if they choose) - How many laps can you do in 45min. (**if a racer makes it back to the Finish Line before the 45min mark they can go for another lap that will count towards their total as long as they finish it before 60min has elapsed)
The course will be about 1.5km long and everyone will use the same course in the same direction.

It will start in the Stadium then head out the tunnel, up Ketza to copper, right on copper to the bridge, left up Olympic. Then it will turn left and head up the Night hawk hill to the WC 5K, take 5K to interchange hill then drop down to the lower Skookum trail and ride all the way back into the stadium.
