Jumping News

All, We were just informed of this incredible event that is taking place on Saturday, May 23, Memorial Day weekend. On May 23rd, Dartmouth students will host an event called “The Memorial Challenge” to honor the passing of Torin Tucker, D’15 and Blaine Steinberg, D’15. This event will take place on Memorial Field at Dartmouth and will be an enormous, community circuit training! Torin was an xc skier at Dartmouth and some of you knew him well. Blaine was a lacrosse player. Both sound like they were amazing people. This seems like a creative and amazing way to honor them! 250 people have signed up already. Go here to find out more and to register. Cheers, Ashley & Peter    Continue reading →

I love this club! We are now at 70% participation on the survey. That is fantastic. We are going to close it up tonight, so if there are 6 more families out there that want to respond today to bring us to 80%, that would be lovely. If not, 70% ain’t bad.

To complete the survey click here.

Hope everyone is enjoying the coming of spring. See you on the trails in running shoes or on bikes!

Last call for survey responders!

We have heard from half of our skiers and received some really useful feedback (including suggestions for improving the pre-season information night, sign-in processes for lower grade levels, and coach feedback/communication with parents). If you haven’t responded to the survey yet, PLEASE take a few minutes and let us know what went well or could be improved! Click here for the survey!

Please claim your lost items:

Please let me know if any of these items belongs to you!

• 10 x 14 Pyrex pan (left at the banquet)
• New-looking pair of LL Bean child poles
• One black, red and yellow child pole
• Pair of adult black fleece gloves (no brand name)
• One black adult glove with black flower stitching (no brand name)
• Bracelet with cut & polished stones

Certificate of Participation:

I have Participation certificates for all of the children in the 1-day program (many were handed out at the end-of-the-year banquet). If your child didn’t receive one, please let me know if they would like their certificate and I’ll get it to you. (Sorry, next year we’ll have a better and more timely process for this.)

Once again, thank you for all of your great feedback on the survey and for a great season!

A belated thank you to all the FS families for such a thoughtful end of the season gift. Peter and I look forward to finding something fun at Omer and Bob’s…most likely some ski gear but perhaps something for mountain biking season!? You guys were wonderful to think of us.

At this point we are up to 32/72 families who have responded to our survey! That’s a 45% response rate! Right on! Anyone else? Anyone? Anyone? We are striving for at least 57 families to respond this year. Help us make this goal! Go to this CORRECT LINK and let us know what you think.

Cheers,

Ashley and Peter
