The 41st Annual Dick Linkey Rotary Ski Challenge
Presented by  the Rotary Club of Tahoe City

By Gary Meadville - RC of Tahoe City (Event Chairman)

The WORLDS largest GATHERING of skiing ROTARIANS
Circle the date! The 41st Annual Dick Linkey Rotary Ski Challenge looks to be better than ever. Check the Fact Sheet for specifics. As has been our aim in the past, this event benefits the many programs of the Rotary Club of Tahoe City and its Foundation. Join us for a day of friendly competition and Rotarian fellowship.
Our race this year will again be held at Northstar California We are offering Apres Ski with heavy hors d’oevres beginning about 3:00 pm just before the awards ceremony. It will still not be an official dinner, but we have a good selection of food. We will have completed all activities by 5:00 pm.
 
Once again we have decided to invite significant others and children over 13 to join the race. We feel it is a positive to invite family members and friends, who have accompanied the Rotarians to our event, to participate in our race. We have reduced the fee somewhat to encourage them to participate. I have personally spoken to the Race Course Manager and have been assured that the course will be maintained as well as any other sanctioned race at Northstar. The additional guests will be racing with their clubs. We don’t feel that there will be enough additional attendance to deteriorate the course significantly.

REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
 
We are requesting that all registration and release forms be filled out online at our website - www.tahoecityrotary.org. Each participant should fill out the release form online then print, sign and give to the Team Captain, The Team Captain should fill out the registration form online and submit all forms with the club check.

Chairman's Note:
We are, as usual, expecting a wonderful day of racing, skiing and Rotarian camaraderie. We would like to encourage your club to spread the word about our ski race to any club in your area that we may have missed in our mailing. If your club has any raffle items to contribute to our ski day raffle, we would be most grateful. As you know there is always a new set of skis and bindings but all other contributions are welcome.

We also want to assure your skiers that the course will be a gentle Giant Slalom and not a Slalom course. We look forward to seeing you March 3, 2017.

Sincerely,
Gary Meadville, Ski Challenge Chairman http://www.tahoecityrotary.org
