December 31- January 6, 2019.

Note the changes to Sunday!!

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!

Prince George was cancelled and an email was sent out regarding this. So no race traveling this weekend. 

There is a New Year's Resolution Race though here at the ski club!! The trail will be set and you 'race' how ever many laps you can in a certain time. It will be great fun and finishing medals will be awarded. This is set for 2:00pm start (registration closes at 1:30) and is your choice of technique on January 1, 2019.

Thursday: Classic Technique. Bring your water bottles and headlamps. We're going for a ski!
