January 6 - Cold and Clear

Happy New Year!

Tomorrow we will be meeting as usually at 10:30 on the golf course. It looks to be a chilly one with windchill getting close to our cutoff of -27. This means a few things:

  1. Layers and warm clothes. Proper fitting boots and gloves is also very important. If boots are too tight they can make things worse in the cold.
  2. Parents keep an eye on the little ones particularly, if they are getting cold, don't be afraid to take a break in the car or back in the clubhouse if needed.
  3. watch for signs of frost nip. 
  4. keep moving
We'll take care of that last one. We are planning a fairly active session with some skills development, active games and maybe a distance ski or time on the hill.

Also, we have our 2017 Jackrabbit toques here! For those who were out last week and got yours please wear them this week so we can take a picture of the group. For everyone else you'll get yours this week. The toques are not actually super warm, so you may want to bring backup in case your Jackrabbit gets cold. But the look great!

Another note. the Jackrabbit Jamboree is on the 15th at Windsor Park. It is a great event with lots of fun activities geared to the jackrabbits. We'll talk more about this tomorrow, but registration is limited, so if you know you want to go, register now.
