November 3 - November 9, 2014.

!!! 4 weeks until our first race!!! Where is the time going?!

Fitness test is done, I will get your results out to you when I can. :D Good effort you guys and we're well on the way to getting ready for this year's racing season. 1 minor detail... we need some snow to ski on and there isn't any in the forecast!! :l Soooo… more ski bounding, pole work/technique and dry land training!!! YAY! Dress appropriately please, in layers, as it's going to be cooler than what we've been used too and dark. :(

Tuesday: Meet out at the lodge, bring runners, poles, headlamp and water bottles.

Thursday: Stefan Kuhn from the World Cup Academy will be joining us OUT AT THE LODGE. As you guys have chosen, we will be doing a doubles circuit, bring poles, head lamp, dress in layers and runners. Practice will be ending later than normal IF your athlete would like some work 1-1 with Stefan. Please let me know at the beginning of practice if you will NOT be staying late. Please see his Bio below.

Saturday: Roller skiing. Yup, you read it right. :( But that's ok- it'll be cold enough that it'll be like skiing! If the frost is too much, then we will be all heading back to the lodge for our workout- bring roller skiing gear AND shorter poles for running. Parents, please don't just drop your athlete and drive off, we will wait until 10am to make the final decision. Don't forget any gear!

Junior Race Team:

Thursday: MEET OUT AT THE LODGE. Apologies on the change of location, but with our guest coach coming and training, it's easier to be at the lodge for this workout. Davis will meet you in the stadium and the time stays the same: 5-6pm. Training times will change when we are actually skiing. Please have a headlamp for your athlete and the usual other equipment and ensure your athletes are dressing in layers with the temperature changes coming. 

Saturday: Meet at the lodge, and please have your athlete bring all of their ski equipment. They will be working with their ski poles to learn some new technique stuff. Also, please bring the athlete/family wax box  as Davis will be doing a waxing session with PARENTS AND ATHLETES during training time. Have a great week! 

And please, if you have any questions or concerns please contact myself: 780-933-0853. Thank you!
