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.
