Master skiers

Hopefully, we will catch up on some snow this week after the warmer weather. The plan is to have masters on Saturday at 10 am, Skate, meet at the cabin. The focus will be some skate drill to help those who are just getting back on skis. So if you a first of the year skate skier or just starting out, the drills will be a good chance to get on the right or left foot. Just kidding. For the more advanced skiers, we will meet at 11am and work on some spenst drills, and strength work which will get the power back in your skiing. If Classical tracks are available we will have a Sunday session as well. 10am meet at the cabin. As skiing will be limiited this year with the closure Feb 1st, I will try and have two sessions on weekends when possible.

Depending on the status of the trailhead, we will have a session on Sunday, allowing enough time to hopefully get the trail up and skiing. We will meet at 10am, for skate technique work and then a easy ski afterwards. Hope to see ya there. Oh by the way...I ran across this biking video of a rider from Ireland/Scotland. Most amazing bike video of riding I have ever seen. Check it out if you want to be amazed! YouTube - Danny MacAskill - "Way Back Home" Wow!! makes you want to go for a ride.

Master Skiers

Several people have asked to change the dates for this weekend. So Saturday will be skate training/tech starting at 10am and Sunday will be Classical Technique at 10am. The Saturday group will be divided into two groups with a 1st hour slow tech work and then some intervals starting the second hour. Sunday will be devoted to classical technique with emphasis on transitions.
