Welcome to the MYSL at COMO PARK in ST. PAUL! 2009- 2010 Como Registration is now closed ~Thanks for a great year. Special thanks to all our volunteers. Check us out in the Fall for the 2010 - 2011 Season. 2009-2010, We’ve been helping kids learn the life-long sport of cross country skiing at Como for 21 years. We are looking forward to another fun winter, hopefully filled with snow. Schedule: Our club will meet at the Como Park Golf Course from 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm beginning Sunday, January 10,2010. We will continue for up to 8 weeks, providing the snow lasts. Week 4 -Jan 31, 2010 we will not meet at Como, We will meet at the William O'Brien kids ski race (due to crowding from St. Paul Winter Carnival). Contact us at como@mysl.org Announcements:Week 1 - 1/10/10 - Great week. We have over 100 skiers. We have 3 groups of level 1, 2 groups of levels 2, 3 and 4. Registration is full. Week 3- 1/23/10 - The snow wasn't bad and I saw some fun games of ski soccer and blog tag, as well as treasure hunts and level 1 doing the hill! Week 4 -Jan 31, 2010 - Time and location change we will not be at Como. We will meet at the 39th Annual Marine/O'Brien Ski Race race time 1:30 pm. They do not rent ski but you might want to check with REI -(952) 884-4315 Week 5- 2/7/10- Rainy but fun Week 6- 2/14/10 - Some of the best skiing of the year. Week 7- 2/21/10 We will be on at Como. They will open for us. They said they have packed away their skis and will not be renting. We are working on getting skis from MySL. If you need skis please send an e-mail to Como@mysl.org. Include: name, age of kids, size of kids- skis and boots and how many pairs you need. Please Respond by noon on Friday. Week 8- 2/28/10 - We will meet at Battle Creek . We will have a costume parade - Adult and kids welcome to dress- up. They do not rent ski but you might want to check with REI -(952) 884-4315. No bibs so we will meet on the snow in the flat area. Weather and Equipment: If the forecast is for very cold or cold with wind chill, We will cancel. Cancelations will be noted on this web page. We will also send an e-mail to all members, by 8 pm Saturday. We need valid e-mails for all. If you don't receive a weekly e-mail from us contact us to insure you are on our e-mail list. We would also close if the Ski Chalet is closed. Always dress in layers; polypropylene will keep the moisture off the skin, a number of insulating layers for warmth that can be shed as games and skiers heat up. Add something non-absorbent on the outside to cut the wind, and minimize sticking snow when we're rolling around. Rental of kids ski equipment is available at the Como Clubhouse. They offer a reasonable rate and will reserve it for you for the hours that we meet. Note: The clubhouse does not open until there is groomable snow, which means there is no rental equipment. Volunteers: Our club is run by volunteers. They are the main reason for the success and affordability of the program. We need to have at least one adult for each skier or set of sibling skiers volunteering. By enrolling in MYSL you are saying Yes! I think this club is providing a great opportunity, and I am going to help make it happen. We have a lot of areas for you to help. We are looking for volunteers! If you signed up for snack a list of who is bring snack when is on the bottom.
If your child is in the first stepper group,level 1, we require you to be on the snow with them, either on your skis or in warm boots. If your child is in level 2 we ask that you check in durning the lesson.
First Day: On the first day, plan to go inside to get signed in, get a bib and learn who your coach will be. Plan to meet on the snow at 2:00 pm (that means get to Como well before that - especially if you are renting skis). Let it snow!
