We’re excited for another cross-country ski season. Since we already have snow, we can start right in on our skis Monday. If you don’t have skis yet, come anyway and we’ll figure something out.
Remember we ski from 4:15-5:15 Mondays and Thursdays until Feb 15 (unless we run out of snow earlier). Please have your skis delivered to the Teton Lakes Golf Course Monday between 4-4:15. We have a ski shed on site that we lock up the gear in so you don’t have to cart it back and forth. However, please note that we cannot guarantee the safety of the equipment.
Some things to know:
First off, NO SKIS or POLES on the buses.
I don’t know which bus runs to Teton Lakes from the High School, but I assume it’s Bus 01-4 (please call the Transportation Department at 208-359-3265 to verify).
If you are coming from the Junior High, the Transportation Department told me that you can hop on Bus 06-3, found in Slot 6. You will then transfer to Bus 01-4 at Valley Wide. They suggested that you double check with each bus driver to make sure you’re on the right bus. Please let them know you need to get off at TETON LAKES GOLF COURSE.
Dress appropriately - winter can be so much fun if you’re dressed for it. Gloves or mittens and a hat are highly recommended (I want to say required, but we won’t kick you off if you don’t have them). Please. Also, wearing layers with a good coat is necessary. Warm winter socks are also a must. Note, though, that if your socks are too thick and make your ski boots fit tightly, that can backfire - if you constrict blood flow in your foot it will be cold.
We hold practice on days when school is in session. If it’s a school holiday, Christmas Break, or if school is cancelled (like a snow day), then there’s no ski club that day.
I will try to keep the blog updated with additional information in the coming months.
Also, registration is open through the entire season, so if you know of anyone who would like to join please have them come - the more the merrier! If they can only come on Mondays or only on Thursdays (instead of both), that’s just fine. Participants are responsible for finding and bringing their own gear (skis, boots, poles), but you can contact Forrest Southam if you need some help locating equipment at: skirexburg at gmail dot com
See you soon!
