K Counter Instructions

Posted on: January 11, 2018 - 7:06pm
By: AmyC

Kids can track their kilometers throughout the season to earn kilometer award pins. This is an incentive to get out and ski during our brief winter! Clubs set their own standards for awards (gold, silver and bronze). A sample from the Hyland Club is 100k gold, 50k silver and 25k bronze.

The overall Top 10 skiers from our SkiSparks and Skiwerx K Counters are invited to our MYSL/Skiwerx Banquet in March to recieve special recognition.

Kids can log all of their skiing kilometers (not just MYSL sessions). We close the K Counter after the first full weekend in March.

How do I find equipment for my child?

There are a variey of options for equipment.

Which skill level do I select for my child and where?

See SkiSparks Skill Levels. You can edit your children's skill level in the "Household Info" section of the registration process (even after you register). It would be very unusual to go out of the suggested age-ranges and many children stay in a level for more than one season. Peer groupings of similar age are often more important than specfic skiing ability. Level 5 and 6 and skating levels ard require ski skating equipiment.

Where do I start? What is club membership?

The MYSL is a league of clubs around the midwest that meet weekly in the winter (usually eight times) for skiing activities based on a curriculum with six skill levels. Clubs provide community and exposure to like-minded families and are "more than just lessons". Coaches are volunteers (mostly parents) and all of the local club functions (leadership, bib and snack organization, for example) are performed by volunteers.

New members recieve the famous MYSL fleece hat, and colored level-pins are given to all skiers at the end of each season.

When should I register? What is the refund policy?

Regisration will open in early October (no earlier than October 10th). Many MYSL SkiSparks Clubs fill up, so you will want to register promptly. Club Rental Equipment is even more limited, so you will want to register ASAP (have your childs, height, weight and shoe size ready). Club rentals are for kids only and waxless (fishscale) skis unless noted. Skis can only be rented at the club that you hold your membership and you must participate fully in the club.

The MYSL Refund policy allows for refunds up until the ski club begins meeting. A $5 processing fee per membership will be retained. After the club starts meeting, there are no refunds. Weather sometimes causes a change in plans and no refunds are given for rescheduled, relocated or canceled sessions.

What classic ski length is appropriate for kids?

By: admin

Age 0-5 no taller than child
Age 6-8 child's height
Age 9-12 10cm taller than child

We don't recommend that children skate before age 9.

See our full sizing chart as a pdf below.
