Craigleith Coyotes: March 2009

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...

Coyotes Raise the Flag...

The new Coyotes Flag...

Mick and His Rake!!

Mick will tell you that it was Cameron's fault that he got a rake to the head, but eye witnesses tell it in a much different way....

Cameron was slipping the course and hitting out areas for Brian and Mick. Since there was so much snow, Cameron had to get up some speed. When Mick told Cameron which line to take....he didn't just point, like most people, he yelled out..."Ova ear cem..." (Translation: Over Here Cameron). "What?!?!?" Cameron (misguided and misdirected) tried to bail and Mick hit him in the head with his rake... some say on purpose...some say it was an accident.

You make up your own mind.
