Tuesday: No practice
Thursday: Practice time change- 1:00-3:00pm at Saskatoon Island Provincial Park. Flying Shot Lake. We might as well go and explore! We're running out of frost and snow... Bring gear for both techniques but we will try to get everyone out skating- classic seems a bit of a challenge unless you have fish scale skis.
Saturday: My apologies for all the changes this holiday season. I realize that it's hard to make plans and enjoy your own time when things keep changing. I will be holding 2 practices today to accommodate as many athletes as possible. You will need to message Claire directly which practice (both is fine) you are planning on attending (780-933-0853)-asap, so that I can have enough coaches for each session and ensure that Nitehawk has our numbers accurately for billing. Also- check your email and fill in the waiver please for this practice.
1. Practice 10:00-12:00am- at flying shot lake- skate skiing- rock skis.
2. Practice 6:00-8:00pm- at Nitehawk. On snow for 5:55pm. Skate skis- your own skis!!🥳
Monday: We will be skiing at Nitehawk and there will be no race. 1:00-3:00pm Classic skiing. This may replace our Tuesday's practice- only if we lose more snow off the lakes. You will need to message Claire directly if you are planning on attending (780-933-0853) this practice.
Our New Years Day Resolution ski- will be out on Wood Lake as there's still no snow in the forecast! ðŸ˜
