Hello Wilmot Ski Team Families Some families have already made plans to attend a ski camp over Thanksgiving. There are many camps out there and most of them are great. Some are out west – which is awesome if you can swing it, but it is not necessary to go to Colorado to get acclimated for the season.  Unfortunately, I am not coaching at any camps this season and Wilmot does not have a camp this year. However, Pat Slattery (Team Blackhawk) is hosting his camp at Brule, MI again this year. Pat is an excellent coach and a great human. I have coached this camp with Pat in the past…

He announced he was stepping down as Head Coach. We have been very fortunate to have George coach and provide the leadership needed to provide a quality program for so many young racers. We owe George a great deal of gratitude for the positive impact he has had on so many lives here at Wilmot. You may see George around Wilmot this season as he has agreed to help me in a consultant capacity. We are…
