 Happy New Year!!!

Sadly we've had a few cancelled events this season- but not in 2019!! (fingers crossed anyway) New Year = a time to make a few changes! Thank you all for your flexibility to Saturday's practice! What a great space and you all worked hard. The new year starts us into phase 3 of the training cycle that I've planned. Phase 3 means less focus on technique (you've all got it nailed for now) and more focus on speed and distance. Training will encompass always moving- no stopping for breaks, unless it's to wait for me, because I told you guys too!! The Annual New Year's Day event is back at the Ski Club! It's a bit different this year, which makes it all the more fun. See details below. We have a race coming up in a few weeks in Canmore. Please make sure you register for this if you're planning on attending. Check the files in TeamSnap for details on hotels etc. 



Tuesday: New Year's Day Resolution Fun Ski event- great to do with your whole family!

The event: A 5km loop - ski as many laps as you can, in 90 minutes - a family friendly event - challenge

Thursday: Regular, plain old practice! :D Holiday's are over... duh duh dah... come prepared to work hard and bring your water bottle, holder and headlamp and a watch if you have one! Classic- we're getting a lot of snow, so let's use it!! Woohoo!!

Saturday: I'm hoping for a skate day- but bring your classic skis in case we have too much snow to manage for the groomers (fingers crossed). BRING A SNACK!! You're going to need the energy. I hope I made that noticeable enough. (insert eye roll emoji here).
