Hello Ski Tiger families-
It's hard to believe that another great season has come to a close and the Picnic in the Snow is already upon us! Cross Country sports will be providing hot dogs and all of the fixings. In order to make the picnic a success, we need a few things from you: 1) Three volunteers to help haul food and equipment and cook hot dogs. These folks will be needed at 10:00 a.m. SHARP (let's call it 9:55) at the M203 trailhead for Swedetown. Rick at CCS mentioned that in the past, volunteers have been late almost every year. If you are a *timely* person and still need some volunteer hours for the organization, please let Tracy Webb or Kevin Hubert know that you're available to meet Rick at 9:59 on Saturday and be ready to haul and cook. PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY. 2) Some food donations, similar to this past weekend's Tiger Games. Please bring something to pass. Think: clementines, apple slices, veggie tray, pretzels, etc... things that can be eaten without utensils. Keep in mind that what goes in must also come out, so try to keep waste/wrappers/etc. to a minimum. 3) Everyone is then invited to be at the M203 trailhead to Swedetown at 11am on this Saturday. The trailhead is about 4 miles from the intersection of US 41 in Calumet or is easily accessed from the Hancock side also. Directions and more information can be found here: Picnic in the Snow Thanks again for your participation. I look forward to celebrating with you on Saturday! Traci Webb & Kevin Hubert

Copper Country Ski Tigers is seeking an energetic person to lead the Development Ski Team which consists of primarily late elementary and middle school age skiers (11-13 years old). Qualified applicants should submit a letter of interest and a resume via email to [email protected] by September 30, 2016. Any questions can be submitted via email as well.
Full Job Description The annual meeting of the Copper Country Ski Tigers will be on Monday, May 9th, 2016 at 7:00pm at the Nara Chalet. This meeting is open to all Ski Tiger families and the public. We are looking for a few new board members, especially from families with kids in the youth program (color groups). If you are interested in learning more about the plans for Ski Tigers in the 2016/17 and/or serving on the board, please plan on attending this meeting. Some ideas under consideration... - Re-establishment of the Adventure Group for kids who have completed the yellow group and love to ski but are not interested in racing. - Adding a young competitor option (grades 3rd-5th) to our Development Team program for younger kids who want more training and racing opportunities than are available in the youth program. - Ski Tiger community outreach through the Nordic Rocks program in area elementary schools. - Possible changes to the PIP program. - And many other ideas... Do you have suggestions about how we could improve Ski Tigers? Bring them on Monday, May 9th! I hope to see you there! Jon Stone President, Copper Country Ski Tigers |
