Congratulations on Making it to State!
Below are a few notes for the Lake Orion High School Ski Team for the State Meet weekend
COST: $40 Per Racer: Includes Lodging, Food, Lift Tickets, and Training.
Parents: Thank You!
We have put a lot of work into this season and I do believe it translates into our own kids success. We have one of the best parent groups in the state and there is one more weekend. We have put on one of the best races I have been apart of (Lake Orion Invite), and worked extremely hard at Regionals. I know regionals was a lot of work behind the scenes and we were a part of it! Every coach and team I have talked to has raved about the regional. I know we were working hard and did not get to see it from this light however it was recognized by others, I would like to thank you for that! The regional did benefit our team beyond what happened at the slopes which will be discussed at the banquet. We are one of the Co-Hosts for the State Meet this year (Keep this in mind while we are up at the meet)
Jobs: (These do benefit our team)
Chief of Gates: Mike and Amy Klaus
1 Gate Keepers: E-mail me and I will request that you are placed near the bottom and can enjoy the race. Let me know which event you would prefer.
Bottom Hand Timer and Recorder: This position will be slower paced at the State Meet due to the longer run length and should be easier to watch runs (compared to regionals!)

Time Line:
*There is a tendency for teams to over train leading into the state meet. In our peaking efforts we are trying to ski as few gates possible with still gaining a feel for the hill and keeping our rhythm. It is normal during this time to think that you are not getting enough training.
