Well it became offical this week that CMR is now officially a member of the Rocky Mtn Division. What this means is less time on the road, less time out of school, a better training schedule and racing in the Rockies! I will send out reminders; however ,when it comes time to renew your USSA memberships CHECK the Rocky Mountain box.
This is a positive move for the club. smitty

This article is in the new Ski Racing; and I found this a switch as I am usually the one texting athletes saying “Hey did you read such & such in the latest issue”? Well today I received a text from an athlete asking if I had read the latest article on page 32; I had not. My athlete wanted to know if they should show it to their parents…yes; I think every parent should read it. so here it for those who don’t receive Ski Racing. smitty

Glenn Bochmann, one of the original CMR coaches gave me this old photo yesterday.
It was May of 1973 and Hogadon had been closed for a month. On Mother’s Day weekend there was a huge snowstorm and we re-opened the ski area for our own spring ski camp the next weekend.
This pictures shows from left to right – Bob Spickard, ski instructor and area manager at the time, my brother John, Chuck Bromley and myself.
At the end of the day we hiked to the west of Hogadon and skied all the way down to Garden Creek Road , we ended up just west of where Munday’s house is now.
Anne and I have been talking about that ski weekend from May 1973 until now, so I suppose we will be talking about the powder snow from this weekend for the next 30 or 40 years.

This season CMR expanded the Casper City race however; our first race had to be canceled due to mother nature not cooperating and there being a lack of snow on Dreadnaught.
However we are confident that will not be the case for the last three races! Pre-registration entry forms will become available as soon as I overcome a computer glitch; however if you would like more information or an entry form e-mail me at csmith08@bresnan.net and I will send you one.
Casper City Challenge is aimed at all levels of skiers and snowboarders with FUN being the main theme and goal! This season Mountain Sports is providing prizes and CMR will be awarding Western Style Rodeo Belt Buckles (we are the Cowboy State) to the two fastest Women and two fastest Men in the 18 and under and the 19 and over categories. The Casper Mountain Racers hope you will come out and participate in this event for we feel skiing and snowboarding is a life sport and racing is just one more way of adding some excitement to your everday mountain skiing experience.
Hey everyone, Connie Edmondson sent me some pics from Red Lodge Check them out!
