The latest from Buz on the State Meet in Presque Isle

Here is the preliminary info:

   We leave Monday (2/18/12) at 8:00 from MTA. We drive to Presque Isle where we will ski the course Monday afternoon. We will stay at the Hampton Inn (207-760-9292) Monday-Thursday morning. We will have breakfast at the hotel each morning, about 6:00. The race schedule is posted on the MHSS website (see link on the right side of the page).

Lunches will need to be coordinated by parents. We usually have had folks organize/bring sandwich stuff: bread, cheese, bagels, cream cheese, oranges, bananas, water, etc. A few cookies/brownies, but not until the days racing is done! It would be great if a few parents could organize this so we can focus on other important things, like skis! Dinner will be at a local restaurant each night. Pasta, lasagna, bread, salad, milk, etc.

   The kids will be staying four to a room, which means sharing a bed. If they are uncomfortable with that they can bring a sleeping bag and pad and sleep on the floor. They need lots of dry clothes, especially socks. Towels will be provided. Lights out will be no later than 10:00 each night. Anyone violating curfew will be sent home, as we are there to ski our best, which means we need our rest!

   We return Thursday evening. It's hard to predict the exact time. Athletes should bring some extra money for anything they might need, like special food, drinks, etc. I will post more info as it becomes available. This is a great bunch of kids and we'll try to ski our best and have a blast!
