Junior : Week of Dec 30th - Not out of the Woods yet

The January Thaw comes Early...

It's not quite how we'd hope to ring in the New Year, but more snow is coming later this week to get 2025 off on the right foot.

Take a bit of time before we're back on snow to wax your skis, get all your laundry done, and think about everything that you've learned about your technique over the past few weeks.

It does look very promising that the trails will reopen and that we'll have two great days of skiing this weekend.

That means this week's practices will be as follows

Tuesday - Strength Training on Zoom

Please join us between 5:20PM and 5:25PM so that we can start at 5:30PM.

Everyone's been doing very well these past few weeks and will work through some more new exercises this week.

BEFORE you start the workout, please make sure of the following:

Make sure you have a safe place to perform basic bodyweight exercises
Look for an open area 6ft x 8ft on a soft floor (e.g. carpet or mats) that isn't slippery
Make sure you work with your parents to test your computer set-up so you can see and be seen, as well as hear and be heard
Make sure you have proper athletic clothing and a water bottle

DURING the workout, please have a strong commitment to:

Listen to ALL the instructions
Try to do ALL the exercises with excellent form
Put forth a consistent effort throughout the ENTIRE workout

PARENTS - YOU are encouraged to join in as ALL of these exercises will help YOUR skiing too!

Please be sure you review some of the exercises we will be doing HERE beforehand.

Saturday – Team Fun Races at HSB

We will send a follow-up email with more details on the practice, including whether we will Skate or Classic, later this week. Likely Skate, but stay tuned.

It is our intention to run a fun practice race as part of the practice. The Seniors are also doing something similar, so we might look to "Team" up with them.

We'll also keep to our holiday timelines of arriving by 9:50AM so that we can get moving by 10:00 AM. Meet at The Chalet and practice will run until 11:30 to 11:45 AM

Sunday – Exploring New Trails at HSB

After an energetic ski on Saturday, let's take the opportunity to explore some trails we haven't yet skied this year. Maybe The Bowl? Maybe the Lookout Loop?

We'll also make the call on Classic vs. Skate closer to the, but this ski will likely be Classic

We'll also keep to our holiday timelines of arriving by 9:50AM so that we can get moving by 10:00 AM. Meet at The Chalet and practice will run from 11:45AM to 12:00 PM depending on how adventurous we are!
