Week of Feb 12th - The Sound of Fun

  

Skiing FAST is Fun!

There certainly was some great skiing on display this past Saturday at Georgian Nordic for "The Sounder".

Hats off to the waxing team led by Harry and David for testing and selecting the best wax and for all the parents for their support and encouragement.

There were also a few parents who got to partake in the "Type II Fun" in the afternoon's Skate race as well!

We also had some fun on Sunday on "The Bowl Loop" at Hardwood.  Thanks to Jamie and Luke for leading the Team through "The Krunch" as we put those cornering and agility skills we've been working on into true practice!

Best of luck to Islay Lash and Elliot Verheyen as they're off to the Ontario Winter Games in Thunder Bay this weekend representing the Southern Ontario District (SOD).  They will be joined by Anna, Holly, Percy, and Thomas - all graduates of the Junior Team - as well as others from the Senior Team with Jack, Jason, Bronwen, and Harry supporting as coaches.

Lastly, we would all like to wish Ava a bon voyage on her upcoming exchange to France!

Tuesday - Skate at HSB

We will work on our One-Skate this week.

Arrive at The Chalet by 1720 and meet at the Map Board by 1730.

Headlamps are required as we will be heading out for a Trail Ski for the majority of the practice.  No Light - No Ski!

The practice will run until 1900.

Saturday – Classic at HSB

With the predicted snow on Thursday night, we should be in okay shape for Classic on Saturday.

If the Sochi Extension parking lot is open, I'd like us to meet there to work on Double Poling around the Extension.  We'll send out a note beforehand to confirm the start location and waxing.

The meeting time will be 0920 so we can start right at 0930 with practice running until 1130.

Sunday – Skate

We will meet at the Chalet by 0920 and then gather at the Map Board by 0930.

We will be doing some drills, a 45min to 1hr steady trail ski, and then some SPRINTS back at the Teaching Flats.
