Who Skis in States?
We are only permitted 8 boy skiers and 8 girls skiers in the States races. Like all teams in the state, that means not every skier on our team will get to race. That said, every MCWS skier is a valued team member and is eligible to be pressed into service should any of the original 8 become ill or injured. We therefore hope and expect that everyone on the team will attend States.
Important Policy:
The states races are run in a pursuit format, just like WMCs last week. Because this is a pursuit style race, a skier must ski (and finish) both days in order to count for the team score. This means that every skier should do everything in their power to ski in and finish the classic race. Even if you have an equipment problem or feel lousy, still finish the race!

Wax Info:
Everyone should plan on glide waxing their CLASSIC skis (glide zone only) and SKATE skis prior to the States races. If you don't have the ability to wax your skis at home, John is available to meet up over the weekend at Pineland to help out. Kick zones on your classic skis should be clean and ready for kick wax. Everyone should clean their skis themselves and be sure it's done prior to Monday.
No klister binder application needs to happen 8:00-9:00am Monday morning. John will do all kick waxing at Titcomb once we arrive.
See the Wax Info tab for glide wax recommendation.
