Race with the Friars...you won't find a more supportive or passionate team anywhere!
Want to build your skiing/boarding skills and get competitive? Ski with the Friars--all levels welcome! We'll be racing at Brule (MI), Wilmot (WI), and Marquette (MI). First race is Dec. 7-9, 2007, at Ski Brule, in da' UP (that's Michigan's upper penninsula for you uninitiated). Hone your skiing skills and try your legs at racing this season. It's a great way to boost the Midwest skiing experience. You don't have to "be good" -- it's fun no matter what.
Medals are given to those who won't take "lose" for an answer! And plenty of apres ski cocktails available for racers and non-racers alike. Go to skicmsc-racing.com for the 2007-08 schedule and more information. Contact John Finerty, finskitoo@yahoo.com.
