Week of Dec 12th - Still Waiting Patiently...


I know that we are all waiting (im)patiently for the snow to return and can bearly contain our excitement to get back on skis.

It is nice to see a return to some snow on the ground, but HSB has not yet received enough depth to roll and for us to see a return to skiing on their trails.

We'll be watching their Trail Conditions, as well as that of other local ski areas, for when we might be able to get back to skiing.

For at least one more week, that means more Online Strength on Tuesday and more Fun in the Forests on Saturday.

Tuesday - Strength Training on Zoom

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

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 – TBD Based on Conditions

We are hoping to set up another Fun Forest Activity in the area.  Perhaps a real Orienteering Run!

We'll likely keep to our regular timelines of arriving by 9:15AM so that we can get Moving by 9:30AM.  Practice will run until 11:30AM

As for the rest of your week, here are some suggestions for other activities should you need them:
  • Be active every day, get enough sleep and be sure to always eat healthily
  • Running – Try for 20-30min.  Start easy, but find some hills if you can!
  • Cycling – Try for 45-60min, either on-road or off-road
  • Fun at Recess – Play Basketball, Touch Football, Grounders, or just about anything that has you moving and jumping
  • Strength Training – Try some of the exercises that we do at practice on your own.  These can all be done either inside or outside and I would encourage everyone to try to do one additional Run/Strength session each week.  Perhaps combine them with a run in your local park or forest!
  • Be sure to keep working on your mobility either through stretching, yoga, pilates, etc.  There are LOTS of great resources online
  • We know that most of you are quite active between practices, just be sure you are doing something for 45-60min most every day.
