>> President's message - by Jo

The snow is plentiful, and the skiing is great! The Sierra League welcomes racers of all abilities and ages. Kids race free when a parent is racing. Our 2010 race schedule is posted online. Our early season Carving Cup race had to be rescheduled because of too much snow, not a bad problem to have!

We are holding six of our eight regular season races in conjunction with the Bay Area Council Singles League. Using the same courses will provide cost savings for both leagues. We also will offer a separate course for S8-9-10 racers, which hopefully will help us recruit more beginning racers.

The success of Sierra programs depends on our clubs and members. Please contact me or any board member with your ideas and thoughts.

Best wishes and good skiing for the season. We look forward to seeing you on the slopes and on the race course. Please call with any questions you may have about the Sierra Council or racing with Sierra League: 775-787-7556 home, 775-722-6468 cell, or email jo_simpson@sbcglobal.net.
