Cookie Cup Reminder Information
Parking
 
All of our skiers will be participating in Sunday's event, which means we will have double the athletes (and parents) coming to the yurt in the morning. There will not be enough room for all of this traffic to use drop off parking Sunday morning, and we would like to keep the area clear for the safety of our athletes. As such, we ask that all of our members park in the upper parking lot Sunday morning. There will be room for everyone up top, and it is an easy ski down to the yurt from there (with no need to carry anything down but a backpack and lunch). If you arrive early enough, there should also be lots of parking in the parking lot across the street from the day lodge. Thank you for your help in minimizing the chaos at drop off (and pick up) and keeping the drop off parking lot clear.
Arrival Time
 
Please remember to arrive by 8:40 Sunday morning. It will take a little more time for athletes to find coaches, for groups to organize, and bibs to be distributed. We want all groups to depart for the lifts promptly in the morning. If you arrive late, groups will be cycling the Catamount chair after the first run and will be easy to find (please ensure you know which coach your athletes are assigned to for the day, as there are some changes to event day groups). You can find your race groups in this document: 2020 Cookie Cup Groups.
Minis
 
All morning Minis will participate in the event for the morning with Arielle and Glenn and afternoon minis will participate in the afternoon. Please remember that because of the increased size of the event day groups, your mini requires a tail gunner while they are on snow on Sunday.
Volunteers

If you have signed up to volunteer (on course or tail gunning) for the Cookie Cup, you should have received an information email this week. If you haven't, please email Rhonda at volunteer.coordinator@gkhat.ca. We could still use a few floaters to help provide break relief to those volunteers who are on course for the full day, so if you are available, please email or speak to Rhonda around the yurt Saturday or Sunday morning.
Awards and Social

The best part of the Cookie Cup for all of our little people, is of course the COOKIES! Cookie awards will be handed out at the Winston starting as close to 3:15 as possible. This is a great opportunity for you to meet the parents of other skiers in your group, have a visit and a drink. Please join us for an hour to celebrate our first race event of the season.
 
 
Please note: Our Saturday programs will run as normal, and all of our skiers will be participating in our Cookie Cup on Sunday.
Thank you for all your help with this. Let’s have a GREAT DAY!!!!!
