Hello Coaches, Skiers and Parents,
We've still got some snow at Oak Hill and we're going to have a "Last Hurrah" Relay event on SUNDAY March 24. (The forecast looks better for Sunday than Saturday). Come celebrate skiing and the amazing resource that Oak Hill has been to us this season!
The relay is 4x 2km SKATE-- details are below.
"Registration" is here, just so we can have a handle on how many people to expect.
Responses to registration will be linked here. Use this to make teams if you're short a few partners.
We'll end the racing with a BBQ and potluck party. We'll provide grill stuff, and we encourage people to bring side dishes, chips or desserts.
Bring cash or check for donations and raffle tickets.
See you out there!

Start and finish area will be at the bottom of the stadium hill in the campground (like at NH State Meet).
FREESTYLE

K-2 will do one flat lap around the campground.
All others will do one lap per partner around the entire "North Loop" (~2km), start and finish below the stadium in the campground area.
