Hello Racers,

Unfortunately, Earl Bales is not open tonight due to Thunder and Lightning.

I am at the hill now and the snow seems not bad, which is too bad.

I was just informed that the lifts will not be spinning tonight and so training is cancelled.

See you next Tuesday,

Victoria

Hello Racers,

We had a great SL training session on Tuesday, February 20th!
I’m excited to update that we were able to get a 34-gate SL course in on Tuesday night.
We had to use 4 brushes in a few areas with more shallow depth but otherwise were able to get in all full gates plus a stubby course.

If anyone is still looking for 1 or 2 drop-in training sessions, we have 2 weeks left and I have pro-rated 1 and 2-day options including lift tickets.

Hope to see you this Tuesday!

Cheers,
Victoria

Hello Racers,

We had a small group out last Tuesday night and snow conditions were better than expected. They had 3 snow guns blowing in the colder weather, so we should be able to get full gates/stubbies in on the race hill this Tuesday.

Hope to see you out tomorrow night.

Cheers,
Victoria
