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 At The Lake




Fellow Coyotes,

We have been asked to put a group of ski race volunteers together to help out at the Ladies World Cup Races at Lake Louise from Monday November 28th to Sunday December 4th.

There are several positions available from Hospitality, Stewards, Course Crew, Safety, Dye Crew & Slippers.

The registration website is now open, go to http://www.worldcupwinterstart.com/ to create an account and follow the instructions. There are some glitches when trying to fill out your information, but persevere.

You will need to pay for the following:
Flights to and from Calgary
Transport from Calgary to Lake Louise and back
If you do hire a vehicle you will also have to purchase a Parks Canada Pass ($159)
Some evening meals and libations

The ROC will take care of the following:
Accommodation - Lake Louise Inn
Full breakfasts - at the hill
Pack lunches
Wednesday night dinner - Prime Rib @ Brewster's Barn
Thursday night - bbq burgers
Friday night - Spolumbo's Sausages
Saturday night - Bib Draw

Over the years the Coyote Crew members who have attended these Races and other Races across Canada, have built a good reputation for "HARD WORK & PLAY"

I just want to let you know that here are early mornings, late days, sometimes extreme conditions - but the rewards "know that you have helped pull of a series of major World Cup Races is so satisfying and being part of the largest ski racing volunteer group in the world - what more can I say"

See you there!
Mick

Public Advisory

Strange reports out of Collingwood, ON this past weekend of a man attempting to disguise himself as a cow and asking to be called "Mookie"

If you see this individual approach with extreme caution...




Guess this is what happens when one spends to much time in the summer sun!
