Transportation info

To ensure all skiers and parents are on the same page, here are the general guidelines re: transportation for the ski team.
  • The school drives skiers from Desert Rd to Pineland for daily practice and returns them back to Desert Rd after practice.  There are also a number of student drivers that regularly drive themselves.  If any of these regular drivers changes plans on any given day and need a ride on the school van, they must let Susan know by 12:00 of that day so plans can be put into play.
  • The school provides rides for skiers to all races, and ...
  • For nearby weekday races (Pineland and Libby Hill), we assume that student drivers will drive themselves.  If a student driver needs a ride to a nearby race, they must let Susan know by 12:00 of race day, and earlier would be nice.
  • For nearby races, many/most parents come to the races, so we don't plan on providing transportation back to Desert Rd after a race, however if there are skiers that need a ride back to Desert Rd after a nearby race, either the skier or a parent must let Susan know by 12:00 on race day that a ride is needed.
  • For weekday races that are farther away (Fryeburg), Susan needs to hear driving plans from every student driver by 3:00 the day before the race.
  • Many parents attend weekend races (to Fryeburg, Black Mt in Rumford, etc.), so anyone that wants a ride on the school van must tell Susan by 5:00pm the day before the race.  Don't assume that you will just show up on race morning and have a seat on the van - you must reserve a seat on the van for weekend races.
  • If you ride the van to a weekend race but will be getting your own ride home, please tell Susan when making your van reservation.
Susan is happy to talk about these arrangements with anyone that wants more info or wants to hear why we need to be so nit-picky on who's riding where.

Thanks to everyone for clearly communicating their transportation plans.
