March 16-23, 2026.

Hello everyone!! I am sure excited to get everyone together this week!! I've missed us all being together! The season is coming to a quick end in the coming 2 weeks and we have a lot to do still- like all the random practices that we haven't had yet!!! 😁 Thank you coach Doris and coach Mike for holding down the trails for us (litterally from blowing away) while we were away. 🌬🌲

I want to send out a few congratulations to the team- congratulations to those athletes who raced in Hinton this past weekend! I heard great things from multiple sources!!! Word gets around that you are all awesome and an extra shout out to coach Mike for racing on Saturday as well and placing THIRD!! 💥

A huge shoutout to the biathletes and snowshoers who raced at the Arctic Winter Games and on your ulus earned!! It's stiff competition out there and you all did an amazing job representing our zone and our club in your respective sports!! Well done!! This year is the most ulus that Wapiti's have brought home in such a variety of sports- you guys proving again and again, just how amazing you all are!!💪

And lastly, I am so grateful to Coach Theresa and Coach Chris who joined me on the coaching squad at the Arctic Winter Games to help me wrangle the team into all the ulu spots that they grabbed!! It was a fabulous week of fierce racing and bravery for navigating 4th and 5th place finishes, pin trading, clothing swapping, lots of waiting, and major games!! Well done to everyone who represented the team at the games, at events this season, and throughout the country!!! I am as always, so proud to coach you all!💙

Reminder: year end party will be held on Friday, March 27th. It will be a sleepover for those athletes who would like to stay and for those who do not want to stay, you can be picked up at the lodge for 10pm. Details to come in next week's blog.

Tuesday: Swimsuit edition ski!! It's spring time and warm this week so let's do our annual swimsuit ski! Bring a suit and we will take a photo, then change and go for a ski. 🌴

Thursday: Bring a friend to practice day! Bring a friend and if they can use your gear, they will, or we will suit them up with rentals. This is a great way to share our awesome sport with your other friends. We also share friends and help each other out! Let's see how many friends we can get out!

Saturday: Team ski and it looks like it may be a crust ski!!! My favourite! This will be a ski on the revolution skis (or your own rock skis) at the club.
