WESTCASTLE SKI CLUB 

 Fall 2009

Hi Folks,
Wow, from warm to cold - winter is here.  COP opens this weekend for skiing.  It is hard to believe that the 2009/10 season is upon us.  FIS, K1 & K2 athletes need to be registered by Oct 15th.  The 2009/10 registration forms are available from the registration page.  Nancy Greene, Banditos, & Freeride registration deadline is December 1st.   

Keep thinking snow!  Some of our athletes have spent time in Oregon and are hoping to be in Colorado by late October. Three of the coaches made a run down Huckleberry on October 4th.  Time to keep doing the snow dance.  We've had good success recruiting for next year's coaches as well.  Most of our Nancy Greene coaches are returning and all of our race coaches are ex-Castle Mountain racers.  We now have a new program called Banditos - this expands on and builds on the old J4 program for 9 & 10 year olds.  For more info see the registration page.  A huge thank you to our Sponsors this past season - without you, we couldn't make it.
