Nordic Skier Training Dec 3-Helena

Posted on November 29th, 2011

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.

Posted on March 10th, 2011

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.

Masters Skier Training-Nov 18 Helena

Posted on November 17th, 2010

Master skiers

We will not have the weekly spenst at Carroll hill. If the golf course is groomed, we will have a headlamp ski around at 6pm. Just a chance to get on snow and ski together. If we have grooming and decent snow, we will have a 10am ski session at the golf course on Saturday. Let's hope for a few more inches.

We will have a spenst session at the Carroll hill at 6:10 on Thursday. We will be working on some longer intervals focusing on pacing. Hope to see ya there. ON Saturday, 9am at the Base Camp (weather pending) we will meet and car pool for roller skiing. We had a great session last week. If we have a group of people that are interested in learning to roller ski we can put together a shorter work out.
