Student / Parent mtg Friday October 24th in the Denfeld Media Ctr. @ 5:30pm
Q. In addition to the activity fee, are lift tickets covered for races or do those need to be purchased separately to for each ‘away’ race?
A. The school will provide lift tickets for away races.
Q. Is purchase of a season pass required for practices and ‘home’ races and if so for what hill?
A. Yes, our home hill for practices and races will be Mont Du Lac. You will need a season's pass for this.
Q. How many times a week are practices and for how long?
A. Practices will be twice per week, at Mont Du Lac. We usually do Tuesday and Wednesday for practice. Some weeks we may have practice on Thursday, just depending on which days our races are being held.
Q. What days are races and what is typical timing?
A. Race days can vary throughout the year. We typically have race days on Friday early on in the season. However, races can be on any day of the week, but usually only once per week. When we do have races, they will be day-long trips. If we are heading to Giants Ridge or Lutsen, we will load the bus at Denfeld at around 6am and return around 5pm. If the race is at Spirit or Mont Du Lac, students are responsible for their own transportation and typically arrive at around 8 or 9 am and will be racing until around 3pm.
Q. Does a skier need to try out for the team? If so when are try outs?
A. No tryouts for the team. There are only 6 section athletes (6 boys, 6 girls) allowed to participate in sections/state. Denfeld will typically have less than 6 boys and 6 girls, so all will make the sections team.
