Friday, December 28 Practice Update

by

Hello TMH Families!

Tomorrow, December 28th, 2018,  we start our practice at 8.30 AM at the West Resort – TMH Hut. Please bring your slalom (SL) and free skis. If you have yet to register for the TMH, you will have an opportunity to do so.

This year we have a new procedure to pay team fees and purchase season passes at the pre-season price. Please read carefully and follow the steps below.

Steps for NEW Members

  1. Print, read, fill out, and sign ALL attached TMH forms.
  2. Scan ALL the forms and email them to teammhra@gmail.com with your athlete’s first and last name in the subject line. If you are signing-up multiple kids, please send separate emails. PLEASE NOTE that Mountain High have ADDED a new Liability Release Form to the packet we’ve distributed earlier. They’ve also made some changes to the Code of Conduct and Registration Forms. Therefore, those of you who already sent us the forms, please fill out those with “_NEW” in the file name and re-send the whole package. Sorry for the inconvenience.
  3. Bring ALL Original signed forms and ONE blank check with you to your first evaluation practice. Do not fill in the check until your child passes evaluation.
  4. If you need to buy a lift ticket for the evaluation, please come to the VIP ticket window and mention “TMH Evaluation” to the cashier. This will be a regular day lift ticket purchase, but you could convert this ticket later into a season pass for the additional payment after your athlete passes evaluation and decides to join TMH. If you already have a lift ticket or season pass, just come directly to the evaluation.
  5. ALL NEW TMH candidates have to be evaluated by TMH coaches. You would have to provide an original signed Liability Release Form to the TMH Administrators (Alex and Olga) to start evaluation. Evaluation includes a few runs and a short conversation with the coach and TMH Admins. Coaches will discuss your athlete’s individual equipment needs and answer any questions about the program you may have. We will make every effort to make evaluation stress free for the athletes and their parents. After the evaluation and the conversation about the program, TMH coach or Admin will confirm the program availability for your athlete and sign your Registration Form.
  6. You will need to take the signed Liability Release Form AND Registration Form signed by the coach back to the ticket window and pay the Mountain High Fee and purchase the season pass. (If you already have a season pass, you still would have to pay the Mountain High Fee at the ticket window.) You will need to turn-in your Liability Release Form to the ticket window at this time. Please, keep the receipt and Registration Form with you.
  7. Present the receipt for the Mountain High Fee from step 6, a check payable to SCSEF for the team jacket rental fee and deposit, locker fee (optional), and Southern California Ski Education Membership Fee, and turn-in remaining forms to TMH Administrators.
  8. Contact us to set up a time to stop by our house to pick-up your jacket. Address: 1060 Rivera Dr., Wrightwood, CA.
  9. YOU ARE DONE!!!

Steps for Returning Members

  1. Follow Steps 1-3 above.
  2. Have TMH Administrators (Alex or Olga) to sign your Registration Form.
  3. Follow steps 6-9 above to register with the team. 

Please, talk to TMH Administrators if you have any questions or if you are eligible for an employee or large family discount before going to the ticket window.

See you on the mountain on December 28!

Training Saturday-Sunday February 24th and 25th and Super G at Mammoth

by

We plan to train this week end both Saturday and Sunday at Mountain High. The mountain made snow and is making snow. It also might snow tomorrow night and next Tuesday, so there is a possibility the season will be extended. Please come up and let’s enjoy the mountain a little longer. We don’t know if there will be gates, it is up to the snow, at present is difficult to say.

U10-U12 SG and U10 GS at Mammoth on March 2 to 4. Please remember that if you want to attend these races at Mammoth the registration closes this Sunday (the 25th) at 5 pm. After there will be an extra charge.

U12 only: YOU MUST register for the Training Run on Friday March 2nd, and actually do it. No training run no race.

There is no training run for U10.  U10 will run a GS race.

Gear: U12 can race with GS ski, they DO NOT NEED SG ski.

Daniel will be the Coach for TMH at Mammoth.

Hope to see you this week end.

Matteo
