Youth Ski Events

Dear Ski Families,

For the next three Sundays at Twin Brook in Cumberland, we will be hosting Bill Koch events for youth skiers.

Sunday, Jan 25--Bill Koch skate race begins 12:00 with sign up from 11:00-11:45 right by the shelter on the Tuttle Road side. There will be races for the following age categories and ribbons for all participants:

Lollypop (born after 2000)
J-5 (born in 1999 & 2000)
J-4 (born in 1997 & 98)
J-3 (born in 1995 & 96)
Also, if there are any 8th graders who were born in 1994, we will have a J-2race for them.

Sunday, Feb 1--Bill Koch Scavenger Hunt at Twin Brook. This will be open to all youth skiers. Please meet right by the shelter by the Tuttle Road entrance between 11:30 and 11:45 to sign up. Each skier will ski with a mapand a list of possible clues. Full directions will be given that day. THIS EVENT DEPENDS ON EVERYONE BRINGING AT LEAST TWO PRIZES PER SKIER. The prizes should be inexpensive--perhaps a used book that you don't use any longer, some kind of treat, a hat, poster, pin, etc. The idea is that for every station the kids visit, they pick up a small prize when they return. Skiers will go out for 45 minutes and can go all over Twin Brook to look for prize certificates.

Sunday, Feb 8 Bill Koch Tennis Ball Biathlon begins 12:00 with sign upfrom 11:00-11:45 right by the shelter on the Tuttle Road side. There will be skate races for the following age categories and ribbons for all participants:
Lollypop (born after 2000)
J-5 (born in 1999 & 2000)
J-4 (born in 1997 & 98)
J-3 (born in 1995 & 96)
Also, if there are any 8th graders who were born in 1994, we will have a J-2race for them.

Skiers will do one short loop and then come into the "shooting range" where they will need to put three tennis balls through a hula hoop. Then, they will ski another lap, come in and shoot again, and finally ski one final lap.

Please let me know if you have any questions. These events rely on help from parents. If you can come and be prepared to help out, that would be great.
