Week of Dec 2nd - Snow has Arrived (in Muskoka)

   


Come our way Snow!


North of Orillia and into Muskoka has been inundated with snow from some protracted squalls off Georgian Bay, but sadly the snow didn't reach far enough south to give HSB meaningful coverage.

That also means we will need to remain flexible and watch the weather.

For this week, that means we might go North to the snow to have the most fun on skis.

Tuesday - Field Skiing in Coldwater OR Strength Training on Zoom

For those of you who can make the drive to Coldwater, which does have a decent amount of snow, we will do a Classic ski in the fields behind the Curling Club at 5:30PM - see directions HERE.

There is plenty of space to park and we'll just ski around, make our own tracks, and then ski over them again!

Jamie will lead a group for 60-75min of skiing and you will need a HEADLAMP to join us as there aren't lights on in this field.

Classic Crowns, or Skins, are recommended for this sort of skiing.  If you have a grip wax set of skis, a blue wax, or a colder purple, would be recommended.

For those in the GTA, we will have a practice for you 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 – Hopefully Skiing Somewhere

Right now we will stay flexible and see how the conditions, both locally and regionally, develop and we'll make a call by Friday around Noon as to our plans for the weekend.  Options might include skiing at Mountainview in Midland, or other places further North such as Georgian Nordic or Arrowhead Provincial Park.
