Welcome to the 2023-2024 Team Hardwood Junior Blog
It seems like such a long time ago many of us were enjoying the sun on the last ski day of this past season.
All the coaches are looking forward to skiing with each of you this season and seeing you improve each and every practice. Hopefully, our trend for good weather for our practices also continues!
We will be looking to connect with each family, both new and returning, over the next few weeks to review recommended equipment and clothing, chat about goals for the upcoming year as well, and answer any additional questions you might have.
We will also be posting a document in the coming weeks that gives a high-level overview of our coaching philosophy for the Junior Team. Our focus is on having fun with friends as we all work to become better skiers. The document will also cover our very objective approach to how we look to gauge a skier's improvement as well as how we encourage them to reflect upon their training sessions and their races.
We are looking forward to another great season of Team Hardwood!

Tuesday – Intro to Strength Training
We will be doing a combination of Running - no ski poles needed - and Bodyweight exercises.
Arrive by 5:15PM and meet at The Palace so that we can get running right at 5:30PM and the practice will run until 7:00PM.
Be sure to bring good trail running shoes as well as some warm clothes for afterward as the sun will be going down as we are wrapping up.
Saturday – Ski Walking at Hardwood
We will be exploring some new trails this week.
Please meet at The Palace and arrive between 9:15AM and 9:20AM so that way we can start the practice at 9:30AM SHARP.
We will wrap up with some fun games.
NOTE - Hardwood is hosting a Cross race this Saturday, so please
Ski Swaps
Look for some more information this week regarding our internal Team Ski Swap - as well as the Hardwood Ski and Bike Swap - see HERE - on Oct 14th & Oct 15th.
Fall Weekend Camp
We are looking at EITHER the weekend of Oct 21st & 22nd OR the weekend of Oct 28th & Oct 29th for our Fall Weekend "Ninja" Camp.
What's "Ninja Camp"? Well, it is a full weekend of Ski Fun - including a campfire and sleepover - all of which takes place in the area around Hardwood. The Camp is designed to give the newer skiers a chance to really get to know the rest of the group as well as for everyone to build new skills!
Please look at your family's calendar and Email jason.vurma@gmail.com if you CAN NOT make one of the dates above.
