2009-10 New Club Drive

MYSL will be providing startup ski equipment for new clubs.

Potential new clubs must apply through the MYSL to be eligible. Each new club would be supplied with approximately 12-14 pairs of skis/boots/poles.

New clubs are always welcome, with or without the option of ski equipment.

We will be at the upper Wirth Chalet in Minneapolis on three Sundays 2:00-4:00 (Mar 1, Mar 8, Mar 15--or as long as the snow lasts). For any and all MYSL families and friends to get together and enjoy this fabulous winter. March 1st will feature many of the Central Junior National Team members (many of whom were MYSL skiers) and a 3:15 pm presentation about CXC intro race programs in the Central region. We'll ski, play some games and then come inside for snacks. It's a great facility if you haven't seen it, so please plan on attending!

Want to update your purple jacket? Or get the coolest hat around? How about sip hot cocoa on the trail? Check out the new merchandise

Sadly, we are canceling the last week due to flooding of the course! ugh!

Hoigaard's and the Minnesota Youth Ski League invites you to Theodore Wirth Park the first seven weeks in 2009 for a Team Sprint Training Series. This informal Wednesday night race series is based on two-person relays with a different format each week. Bring a partner or sign up to be matched with a skier of similar ability.

The new lit snow making loop is fantastic. Come and try it out.

$5 per race or $25 for the series. All proceeds go towards youth skiing! On site registration only. Minneapolis Trail Pass is required for those 12 and over. Registration begins at 6:00 pm in the main Chalet, races start at 6:30 pm. Come with a partner or pick one up at registration.

Saturday, March 7th at 3 PM there will be a kid's race addition to the Lotvola Cup festivities at Maplelag Resort!

The race will be approx 2.5k (They will do "Sap Run" twice). More details still coming- we would love to see kids from several different MYSL groups out besides the DL kids. Please come and join us! I will post additional information as I learn it.
