Who are the Craigleith Coyotes?

Well if you haven't heard of us yet... Where have you been?



The Coyotes are proud to be part of the Craigleith Ski Club, proud of where we come from and what we do. The next time you participate in or watch a race at Craigleith, know that the start was set up and tended to by a world class Timing Team, that the Safety Netting and corrals were put in place by seasoned World Cup and Olympic Crew Veterans working alongside the rest of the dedicated Coyotes Crew, and those blue lines... Even if it is just a finish line, it was probably put in place by the same people who dyed the lines for Manny, Eric, Robbie, Jan, Britt and Kelly... And you know what? We are glad to do it for you too!



Remember that Race Crew is supposed to be a fun experience. Join the commaraderie, make the time to enjoy the snow and hills. There's always beer in the crew fridge, and that if you feel a cough coming on, we have the cure for that too...

ODART at the IPC WC Finals

A Shout-out from Melanie Schwartz at Panorama for the IPC World Cup Finals

My favorite quotes:
"I always mix up my beavers" - Jen (referring to Beaver Valley and Beaver Creek)
"Two legs ago, I had an mp3 player in my leg" - Will
"We have four five-runners" - starter
"What's the difference between a piano and a fish? You can tune a piano, but you can't tune a fish" - this has nothing to do with Coyotes, but I heard it at Craigleigth from one of the Track 3 kids

Thanks to all the coyotes for another great weekend!
At least there was one day of good skiing and forerunning.
It was nice to spend some time in Wylies and see what you look like without helmets and jackets.
I thought you were all crazy for starting off powder days with side slipping and shoveling instead of fresh tracks.
Now that I've seen you without your ski gear, I realize that you are even crazier than I'd initially thought.

In other news, I am gearing up to go to Panorama for World Cup races starting tomorrow. I've attached a picture of my new helmet sticker. I've already gotten a few comments about it!
I will be the only standing Canadian woman in the speed events (there is only one other woman and she is in the sitting category).
I am very excited to represent my homeland since it might be my last chance before I don the stars and stripes.
It is great that the Coyotes are able to help us out with the expenses!
Unfortunately the race is during March Break, so flights are stupid expensive (not to mention accommodations, baggage fees since my gear weighs more than me, race entry fees, etc.) so any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
A special thanks to Tracy, Hersh, Linda and John for their generous donations, Michael for selling his GDHL jacket and Chris for buying it!

Thanks again for all your hard work all season. You've gone way above and beyond and I can't thank you enough.

Cheers, enjoy some spring skiing,
See you next year!
Melanie
