U12 Weekly Update - March 15

Posted by U12 Program on Mar 15 2023 at 06:16PM PDT in 2022-2023

Hello U12!

This week we will be practicing our skill assessment exercises when outside of the course. The exercises are garlins, speiss, braquage, moguls and glalom turns. They will be assessed on these exercises at the end of the season in mid April, the results will be in your child’s end of season athlete action card.

Things of note:
Nor-Ams, COME WATCH! Downhill from Tuesday to Thursday expected to run from 10AM-2PM. I strongly encourage kids to come check it out! Good viewing points are the timing hut and bottom of raven ski run.
Sharpen Edges: Please ensure skis are sharp for the weekend. Parts of Ptarmigan ski run will be watered to create firm snow conditions next week’s FIS Noram event.
Friday March 17: Unfortunately, we are fully sold out for this Fridays training.
Sun Peaks Festival: If your child does not need a lift pass for Sun Peaks please let me know immediately as I will be ordering lift passes soon. Please note, lift passes are included in your registration fee but can be refunded if your child doesn’t need one.
