LET”S TALK GEAR

Sunday, October 30th at 9:00 a.m. in the Taconic Lodge at Catamount.

This information session is predominantly aimed at the parents of our racers who are planning to enter the Tri-State this season.
However, if you are a parent of either a current Tri-Stater or Interclubber and are still unsure of how to navigate the confusing world of ski racing gear (skis, helmets, goggles, protective gear, boots) and the logic behind having properly tuned skis, this meeting is for you.

we will discuss:

• proper gear selection: skis, ski poles, boots, protective gear.
• proper gear prep: base bevel, side bevel, the importance of ski sharpening (especially on our north-eastern ice),
• proper tuning gear (not necessarily a tuning clinic but the logic behind having the basic tuning gear)

One half hour presentations plus a time-unlimited question and answer session conducted by a panel of current Catamount Tri-State coaches.

This is not a specific advice on what kind of skis you should buy for your son or daughter, but rather a general information that you can both understand and use during the ski/boot selection process for your children.

I hope you can join us,
on behalf of the Catamount Coaching Staff
