Hello Devo skiers!
We had fun working on our skating at Steven's Pass last Saturday. We missed those who couldn't make it. As you know we have challenging ski conditions. The below information is from Coach Callie.
We are obviously hoping that the forecast will be wrong and that we’ll get loads of snow instead of rain. However, in an effort to get us on skis sooner than later we have a Rain Plan (Plan B). There is also the possibility that Plain will get so much rain and their trails will be un-skiable. But we’re trying not to think about that.
We will be following Plan A or B for both Tuesday the 7th and Thursday the 9th.
Plan A: IF the IRT is open we will be practicing there.
Classic Skis
3:45- ~5pm
Plan B:
Logistics are a bit messy – we’ve never done this before with the Koos Cruisers and Devos, but PVST has generously invited our Entire Team up there to practice. If we end up in Plain, please have your child thank their coaches and staff.
PVST * – park at Plain Hardware and walk across the street to the trailhead
Classic Skis
3:45- ~5pm
* All skiers will need to have a parent signed PVST liability waiver.
PVST liability waiver
I will also have copies at the carpooling meet-up. Another option is to purchase the PVST kid’s season pass (https://skiplain.com/product/kids-season-pass-for-ski-snowshoe-trails/) for $10. You might consider this if your family will be skiing in Plain more than a few times this season. I can help your child pick their pass up on Tuesday if you go this route.
Travel Option A – drive your own child(ren) up to Plain.
Travel Option B - Meet at the Mormon Church Parking Lot (10170 Titus Rd, Leavenworth, WA 98826) on Titus between 3:00 and 3:10 for carpooling. We will depart at 3:15.
If you’d like to drive and have extra room, please consider picking up an additional skier.
Our coaches who have extra room in their cars will collect another child or three. We may also have a Plain Valley Nordic Team van at our disposal.
We will aim to be back to the Church parking lot by 5:45, 6 at the latest. Either plan: I will have jackets ($50) and hats ($10 for team members, $15 for family) for sale and will gladly be accepting concussion and liability forms.
We will most likely be skiing in Plain on Tuesday. If you are coming from Wenatchee, this may be challenging. I (Heidi) am planning on pulling my kids from school at 2:30 in hopes of making it. Definitely less than ideal, but hopefully it will only be one week!
Saturday's plans are TBD.
As always feel free to text me or call me with questions!
