OPA Cup Coach Needed  (We have now found an OPA coach - thank you.)

Seeking: Very hard working coach to help drive, organize, and wax on what is essentially the European “B” Cup. 

Ideally this coach will have experience waxing especially in spring conditions, will be able to speak some German, have experience driving in Europe or at least be a safe driver, must be organized, flexible, travel well and get along and be positive in changing and challenging circumstances.

Funding is probable, payment impossible.

Athletes to attend will be high-level national level skiers.

Trip details:

Trip leader – Pat Casey.

Travel over on the 23^rd of February.  Train in Ramsau, Austria.  Race in Slovenia on the 4^th and 5^th, Italy for the 11^th and 12^th and in Austria on the 18^th and 19^th.

OPA Cup locations can change at near a moment’s notice – but the trip will occur at this time.
