Costs
Registration for the 2009-2010 season will cost $45 with a discounted cost of $25 for a
second sibling and a cost of $15 for a third sibling. This fee includes a team ski hat for
first-timers. Expenses of races and ski trips are not included in the registration fee.
Rental equipment is available for incredibly low prices of $5 a pair for skis, boots, and
poles.
There will be additional costs for races and travel. These tend to be minimal per event (for
example: $5-$9 for races). Some races will be subsidized by the club. Overnight trips will
cost about $50-75, not including gas.
Coaching, trail grooming, and some equipment are free.
Ski Wear
Good ski gloves and thick, wool socks are important to staying happy during the season.
Base layers should be made with synthetic fabrics such as spandex or polyester. It is
vital to avoid cotton, which traps moisture. Outer layers should be warm and comfortable.
Wind breakers and water bottles are recommended.
Each new skier will receive a ski hat when he or she registers. Team members will also
receive a racing jersey for the season. Failure to return the jersey will result in a fine.
Liability
Every student needs to have a waiver of liability statement signed by his or her parents.
The club also needs a generic race form and waiver signed. The Lakeland Hills Country
Golf Club, club sponsors, and the Lodi School District assume no responsibility or
liability for use of their facilities. Coaches and members are covered by the CXC Skiing
Association as well as the Lodi Optimist Club at practices and races.
Students are allowed to drive to practices, Tyrol Basin, and Elver Park. Otherwise,
parents volunteer to drive to races and overnight destinations.
