This team is made up of the following Skiyentes: Amanda Moran, team captain. Leann Fanning Diane Hicks Sara Holt Masha Los Sheri Parshall Barbara Pressentin Madeline Scheidt Meg Spillman Colleen Stroeder Team two has chosen Oui Ski as the team name.

Sally Niedermeyer, team captain Elsebeth Frank Randy Hewitt Alice Jacklet Debbie Kitchin Jenny Sunderland Terry Swan ( Mountain High Ski Club) Tina Weber Laura Whitehorn Megan Cassidy (NWSCC Member) Mother Nature has been rather fickle with us! We have snow but not enough to sustain the number of racers on a single course. Thus the first NASTAR race was cancelled and the first originally scheduled PACRAT race was postponed until April 4 (location TBD). Fortunately the original PACRAT race #2 was held January 25. Also, so sorry to hear that Dan Schindler who had completed our 2nd team had an injury and is unable to race. Another council member, Megan Cassidy has stepped in for him so that we do have a complete team hooray! A woman is like a teabag. You never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water! 14
