ATTENDANCE

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic we are adjusting the 2020/2021 Season for health and safety reasons. We hope to go back to normal operations next season if not sooner. Thanks for your patience and support.

There are many ways to achieve success in Mighty Mites. Winning races is one way. Skiing with your group every Sunday, rain or shine, is another way.

Season trophies are awarded based on race results together with attendance points. Skiers can receive one attendance point for each session. Attendance will be computed for just 14 days out of the 18 days in the 2020-2021 Season. This will allow athletes to stay home when ill, or due to a quarantine requirement for Covid-19 exposure, without affecting their Season Award points.

Here’s how to make sure that skiers receive their points:

1. Mighty Mites should meet their group on time.
2. If a Mighty Mite loses his/her group on the mountain, there are two ways to keep your attendance points:
   • If he/she knows which chair his group is skiing on, wait at the bottom of the lift to rejoin the group, otherwise go to the RTC.
   • Find another group to ski with and tell his/her coach who he/she skied with.
3. Always ski where the group is heading. Never ski off by him/herself and hope the group will follow.
4. Review Master attendance online and provide feedback online on any potential errors.

NOTE: The only deviation for attendance is participation in another non-Mighty Mite Race or Alyeska Ski Club Event with pre-approval and confirmation of participation. Attendance will be awarded as if the athlete attended the Mighty Mite session.

CHECK-IN PROCEDURES

Skiers should be ready to ski at 11:30 am for the older groups or Noon for the younger groups each Sunday. We ski in rain, snow or shine if at least the lower mountain lifts are in operation. Skiers MUST check in with their coach to obtain thier attendance point.

DISMISSAL

Generally, Mighty Mites is over for the day between 3:00 p.m. Coaches will release their Mighty Mites outside the RTC. We ask that you meet the skiers at this time to make sure that they have come off the mountain safely.
