Last minute tip/reminder: Try to pack a smaller "carry-on" with things you'll need on the bus, large bags are usually stowed. (Think: water, food, homework, entertainment, clothes for skiing as soon as we arrive...)
Please remember these items, in roughly decreasing order of importance:
-Yourself, at door 6, at 9:30 a.m.-Medications (e.g. asthma inhalers)
-Food
-Skis/boots/poles/hat/gloves
-Dry socks
-Water bottle
-Toothbrush/paste
-Money
This list is not comprehensive.
You will be responsible for all of your snacks and meals beside lunch on Saturday (thanks so much for our helpful and supportive parents for putting lunch together!). Most skiers also find a restaurant for dinner on Friday because people like hot food.
The Run-down
If you're not sure what to expect, here's a quick synopsis:
On Friday, we'll take the bus straight to Giant's Ridge and spend time skiing. After we ride to the hotel and settle in we'll make dinner plans. We'll eat, and make last minute race preparations, relax at the hotel.
Bright and early Saturday morning, we'll check out and head back to the Ridge. Skiers from dozens of teams will be racing continuously all day: two skiers, every thirty seconds, for hours. You can find your start time here.
There will be a lot of downtime, and a lot of snacking. Once you've finished your race, you get to fill the entire rest of the day with as much skiing as you possibly can.
The trails are beautiful, the event is remarkable, and the fun is unforgettable.
See you tomorrow (or today, as the case may be)
