Week of Dec 19th - Good Job SNOW!!!!


What a difference just a week makes!  From the depths of despair to unbridled joy!  Let's look to make the most of ski season and get out as much as possible.

We will be hosting some additional/different practice times over the holiday break as both Christmas Day and New Year's Day are both on Sundays.

HSB is CLOSED on Christmas Day, so we'll be moving that practice to Thursday, Dec 29th.  We will also move the practice scheduled for Sunday, Jan 1st to Thursday, Jan 5th.

During the Holidays, both Tuesday and Thursday practices will be in the morning to take advantage of the SUN!

Tuesday - Skiing at HSB

With the return of the SNOW we will be back on skis this Tuesday night and looking to make up for some lost time.

We will look to Classic Ski as it seems very likely that HSB will be able to set a track by then.

Please meet at The Palace by 5:20PM so that we can get skiing by 5:30PM.  Please enter and exit from Line 6.

Practice will run right up to 7:00PM to make the most of the snow.  Bring at HEADLAMP - that's a MUST for safety as we will be heading out onto the Trail.

For waxable Classic Skis, be sure to have the kick zone of the ski cleaned, and sanded.  Then heat in a layer of Blue or Green wax and let cool completely.  Do that process tonight so that putting on the wax of the day will be easier and faster.

Projections right now are for around -5C at the time of our practice - so perfect Blue Kick Wax conditions!  If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to Jason directly today to chat by phone.

Saturday – Holiday Ski Fun at HSB

We will have some holiday fun at HSB that will include a ski, some games as well as our Annual Gift Exchange and Festive Sweater/Hat Day.

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

We'll also keep to our regular timelines of arriving by 9:15AM so that we can get moving by 9:30AM.  Meet at The Chalet and 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 20-30min, indoors on a Spin Bike while watching your favourite show
  • Fun at Recess – Play Basketball, Touch Football, Grounders, or just about anything that has you moving and jumping
  • Strength Training – Keep up with the exercises that we did at practice in the Fall on your own.  We would encourage everyone to keep up with doing one Run/Strength session each week.
  • 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.
