We had a nice weekend off to hone our skills, and be glad we did not have to race in that cold!  This weekend we will be hosting a GS on Sunday.  Its always nice to race at home!  We have a great chance to win back "The Boot" with the home hill advantage.

U12 update 1/22- 1/27


This week will be GS with focus on stance and body position.  I will keep the focus on skill development.  We must have the correct movements first, then we can apply that to gate training.
Temps this week will be very cold, Tuesday’s high will be 0 and Wednesday’s mountain forecast is for a high of -7 (low -21).  If it’s that cold, we will not ski on Wednesday.  It’s hard to learn in weather like that. I can do an in-depth video session and we can workout in the gym.
  • Tuesday, GS drills for stance and alignment
  • Wednesday, video and gym workout
  • Thursday, GS drills for stance and alignment
  • Friday, GS drills for stance and alignment and gates a hill space allows

Remember to pack extra layers and keep faces covered this week!
