Waxing Clinic sign-ups

On Saturday, December 7th, the annual Waxing Clinic will be held at Black Hawk Middle School (park in west (upper) lot, enter northern-most door on west side) in two sessions.

  • Session 1: 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
  • Session 2: 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

The remaining kick wax kits and wax remover as well as uniforms will be passed out that day.

Sign your skier up for one of the sessions. Parents do not need to attend but are welcome if they'd like to learn about ski waxing (like if hosting a waxing pod!) Learn more about waxing skis at Ski Waxing.

Waxing Pod sign-ups

Head to Waxing Pods to sign up for a waxing pod. Thank you to the families hosting this season!

December 10th meet

Bussing

There will be a bus taking skiers from Eagan High School TO Hyland for the meet but NOT a returning bus. Coach Abery will communicate the race and bussing schedules via TeamSnap.

Parent volunteers

Parents, we NEED you! Please sign up to volunteer at the first meet of the season. It's FUN. Please contact Karen Gridley or Bonnie Carlson with any questions about volunteering at meets.

Where at Hyland???

Avoid the downhill skiing location. Your goal is to park in the lot at Jan's Place. If not there, then you'll definitely find a spot at the Visitor Center.

Winter Training Trip registration

Head to Winter Training Trip (WTT) to learn more about this FUN trip and sign up your skier!

Grocery bagging sign-ups

Skiers, you are welcome to sign up for a SINGLE slot for one of the four grocery bagging fundraising events at Cub in December and January. To learn more about what to expect, go to Fundraising.

Team Merch Store

We have a new team merchandise store, where skiers, coaches, and families are welcome to purchase team items, hosted by a St. Paul company, Branding Wearhouse >>. Youth and adult sizes are available where possible!
