<html><body><span style="font-family:Helvetica; color:#000000; font-size:14pt;"><div>We had beautiful weather and a full day of testing/skiing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Chris (as always) does a fantastic job and is a joy to have as a tester. It doesn't hurt that he brings Gretchen and we get another skier!!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One observation that we wanted to pass along to the MRSSA reps regarding the new driver requirements going into effect. . . .</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are several instances where driver's may pull things during a practice (jump, shoe ski, etc) - however, the ballets and pyramids are something these driver's don't (or never will) pull. </div>
<div>For several teams, these acts are always pulled by our triple/twin driver . . . Thus, there were lots of rough ballet attempts by driver's that were required to pull it for testing, but will never pull it for one of their teams practices. Just something to think about</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Finally, we have two new teams now certified . . . way to go Balsam Lake and Park Rapids!!!!</div>
