Congratulations to all of the STMS Snow Club Racers and Parents-

What an amazing season-

Dotty Clark 2023 was an adventure- 
The day started at 9 degrees! brrrr
Winds were a stiff 20 mph! woosh
Special thanks to our creative, ingenious tailgate host and hostess's 
Hormuth family and the Snelders plus a new fan, Brittanie Austin!

Chili dogs - rocked it!

We had a great season of team building! 
*new sick Jersie's and qualifier beanies! cool t-shirts! *stickers
*two parents' meetings, *lunchtime film fests in the library,
*concessions, *donut sales, *wax clinic, *tailgates, *hall decorating *numerous announcements, *fliers and *BB Day lift ticket raffle!     *That's a lot of hoopla! 

Highlight is always Dotty Clark but, we look forward to 
Thursday March 2nd! YES, the date was changed by IPC, 
Idaho Pizza Company in Eagle, from 6:30-8:30- EOS Pizza Party!

Bring your STMS Snow Club Jersie- get a "thank you" prize!

We encourage families to join us, if you would like. 
The Snow Club will pay for the racer's pizza and beverage, only.

Thank you, for your involvement and support. We are so fortunate to have a program (which is the only School Based Race Program) in the Northwest. Happy 65th birthday! Bogus Basin has been encouraging our students in the treasure valley to get up to the mountain. A philosophy-based program seeking to make it affordable, offer discounts, affordable transportation, and organization. We had 42 Middle and Highschool schools participate.   

If you are interested and wanting to invest in a more competitive program BB has a great BBSEF program. 

If you want to be a more involved school race program volunteer, please let us know and we can guide you in the right direction. 


Please send your pictures to krause.leslie@westada.org so that I can continue to compile season highlights! As always, we welcome your help in continuing this ride.

Dotty Clark Friday February 24th
- Not an excused absence!

This is a Memorial race that started back in 1960. A friendly competition between Boise and Borah High. The race was dedicated to a classmate that died in a car accident. Middle and High Schools all over the Treasure Valley have participated in fun competition on Bogus Basin for 64 years!

Congratulations Racers and Parents:

    Friday is not an excused absence! Racers are expected to communicate with their teachers to inform them of their future absence and why. Student then are expected to go to Teams to find assignments and agenda items that will be missed for that day. Pay attention to due dates, this does not warrant late work. We will be doing a grade check. If a racer has an F they cannot race. We will meet individually regarding concerns. Please don't hesitate to reach out. 
     
Make sure that you discuss transportation- drop off, pick up, time location for Dotty Clark. It is a typical work day for many parents, we will be coordinating transportation as needed. We are here to help! We have families signed up to lead with the tailgate, if you want to help or get involved just let us know. Bring your own camp chair! The weather looks outstanding! lots of fresh powder!
 
RACE DAY PROCEDURE :

Buttercup parking lot STMS tailgate check in. Friday morning the racers MUST check in at the tailgate, sign in and get their Dotty Clark Race Bib. This must be pinned and visible- 
Morning Star Chair opens at 9:00 the first race is at 9:30 (Freestyle) Snowboard Expert (9:30)
Slalom Races start at 10:30. Awards are at 2:00 at Simplot Lodge. Tailgate lunch 11:30-1:30.

Race number #5 

 A Magnificent day at Bogus Basin!  

Sunny skies and plenty of fresh powder to be found! 

We entered the Helmet decorating contest and fell short of votes, next year!! 

We had a great snack at the tailgate, thanks to the DeCastro Family and Mrs. Basil! we had a bon fire, breakfast bagels, cream cheese and muffins. Lunch was hotdogs, cookies, chips! We had only a handful of our racers, would love to see everyone !

Timing unit failure was again an issue on the ADV Ski course. The manufacturer has the unit and is repairing, should be good to go for race 6. 

We have 1 more race and then the Dotty Clark. Schedule is below. As a reminder, the event is on 2/24/23 which is a Friday. Please reach out if there are questions.
