ATTENDENCE SOCIAL MEDIA CONDUCT TEAM SPORT!
This is a SKI RACING TEAM, NOT A CLUB. Attendance is mandatory for all team meetings, dry-land training sessions, mountain training sessions, and race day events. Courteous, respectful, and polite to all. Thank race officials, course setters, mountain crew, bus drivers. Words are powerful, think before you post! Encourage everyone to be social on platforms. Your interactions make it easier to bring in sponsors!
This is a TEAM SPORT, not an individual sport!
