The race season is fast approaching with the first Rabbit Hill race scheduled for January 8 & 9, 2011. This will be a combined North Zone K1 Provincial/ Regional race, a first for RHSC. We are anticipating upwards of 170-180 athletes. It is a two day event with a slalom scheduled for Saturday and a kinder kombi scheduled for the Sunday.

With the holiday season approaching even faster, we need to get a jump on the organizing of this event as soon as possible.   To have these races run smoothly it takes help from a lot of people, experienced and not so experienced. If you are interested in helping out and learning more about how a race is organized and operated, this is a perfect opportunity. You can shadow one of our chiefs or other more experienced volunteers and learn from the best!   Below is a list of Volunteer Positions that need to be filled within the next week or so. I have approached a few people individually but still waiting for responses for some. If you see something you’d like to help with, let me or Ian Paine know.   We can’t do it with out you!! Hot lunch provided!   Thanks in advance for your help!   Ian Urvold, Ian Paine –  Chiefs of Race

Please be advised that on Thursday evening this week, the clubhouse will be in use for a hydration session with the K2 and FIS program.  All other groups (NG, regional, K1) training at the hill on Thursday will have to use the day lodge

Welcome to the  first official (warm) day of Saturday training at RHSC.

On November 3rd, twelve K2 and FIS athletes from Rabbit Hill Alpine traveled to Loveland Colorado for their major fall camp of the 2010/11 season.  The team is taking advantage of the high quality and reliable training that Loveland, Colorado has to offer in early November.  While in Colorado, the team is also taking in some of the local attractions such as the Denver Zoo.

We are looking for 10 kids from the K1, K2, Regional, and FIS programs to pass out packages at the entrance of the Warren Miller show this Friday evening at the Jubilee Auditorium.  Pacesetter Ski Shoppe is the presenter of this show, and as in years past, has relied on Rabbit Hill Ski Club to provide a few willing participants to work the entrances, and get the chance to see a great ski movie! Please reply to Rob Sharratt.
