- Practice Plan for Tuesday, December 9, 2014 December 8, 2014WAXLESS SKIS WILL BE BEST FOR TOMORROW, but if you don’t have them, read about wax below…
Location: Garipay Time: 3:30-4:30 Technique: Classic Kick Wax Recommendation: Swix special red/red or purple Upcoming Race: NA - There is likelihood of a snow day tomorrow. If there is a snow day, WE WILL NOT HAVE PRACTICE. This is a regular policy for FS. If there IS school, but we have to cancel practice, it will be posted at local schools and on this site by noon.
- Coaches will be on hand to help with kick wax tomorrow since it is the first day for classic skiing and the conditions will make waxing challenging. If you DO know how to wax skis, please arrive with skis waxed and perhaps look around to see who you might help out in the parking lot!:)
- We will NOT have snacks tomorrow as the weather forecast is nasty. We will let you know when we will do snacks again. Rain and cookies don’t go very well together!
- Our groups will meet tomorrow on the RIGHT as you drive in to Garipay. As you look at the ski area, look for our colored signs to the right along Reservoir road (across from mini coop). We are going to try to ski and play with the younger one-day kids before practice.
- Mike Silverman from Dartmouth will be present at GARIPAY at practice time tomorrow to pass out Dartmouth ski passes for families who have purchased them. He will be at GARIPAY from 3:15-4:45 – bring check if you have not purchased a pass yet.
- If you are still interested in joining our gang of Ford Sayre families for some skiing at Mt St Anne (north of Quebec) after Christmas for some awesome skiing, we just received an email from a family from Putney Ski Club that still has room in a house they are renting that is RIGHT on the trails. The letter is below. As it is, there are 17 families heading up on Dec 27! Join in the fun!
- Snacks Next Tuesday & Thetford Ski Sale Reminder December 6, 2014
We hope you are enjoying this beautiful snowy weekend!
Two notes to think about over the weekend:
First:
On Tuesday, 12/9, we hope to have snacks after practice (weather permitting)! The hope is to have a joint celebration with the 2 & 3 day program (we will try to coordinate our practice location but if we aren’t in the same place, the 1 day-ers will still enjoy snacks at Garipay).
We will provide hot chocolate & water and are asking for food contributions from families – homemade or store-bought. Please let us know if you can bring something. (e-mail: bkl.one.day@fordsayre.org)
. You may drop-off contributions at 3:30pm or bring it to the party (around 4:15). We hope that you can join us! Second:
As a final reminder to those families that still have not found equipment for their kids – or that would like to find equipment for others in their family – the Thetford Ski & Skate Sale is tomorrow, Sunday, December 7th from 12:30-2:00 at the Thetford Elementary School. I expect that this will be a great place to find equipment.
Please be in touch with me if you have feedback on our program!

- Snacks Next Tuesday – We’d Love Your Help! December 5, 2014
Happy Friday and cross your fingers for snow this weekend!
Please take a look at the note below from Tracy Zuckerman and Jane Phipps – Goddesses of Good Things to Eat:
Thank you all for such a wonderful celebration before Thanksgiving. The kids were most appreciative and everyone enjoyed staying afterwards.
On Tuesday, 12/9, after practice, we’ll have snacks again! The hope is to have a joint celebration with the 1 day program (we will try to coordinate our practice location but if we aren’t in the same place, the 2&3 day-ers will still enjoy snacks wherever they may be). We will again provide hot cocoa & lemonade and are asking for food contributions from families – homemade or store-bought. Last time we had enough food (but hardly any leftovers!) so please let us know if you can bring something (e-mail Tracy Zuckerman at tracyzuckerman@comcast.net)
. This will be the last one for this year so we hope that you can join us!
You may drop-off your contribution at 3:30pm or bring it to the party.
Thanks,

Tracy Zuckerman & Jane Phipps - Ford Sayre Academy in Colorado December 4, 2014
Ford Sayre Academy just returned from their annual Thanksgiving training camp in Colorado. Lots of dryland conditioning, on-snow training, then more dryland conditioning. And of course homework in the evenings. A great time was had by all!
