Last Week
Thanks everyone for such a great first Holiday camp last week. We had a 7 day SL training block on Blackcomb. Main focusses were managing our Centre of Mass, working our ankles and knees to feel shin pressure and get to the front of the ski. Video from the week should be availabe on Sprongo.
We all survived a pretty cold week, and made some substantial progress.
Next Week
We will be starting our second Holiday Camp on December 27. We will be training 4 days of GS in the Dave Murray Training Centre. We will meet at the Garbo hut in the mornings, athletes will load the Fitz chair at 7:45am. Remember to bring lunch, snacks and water.
We will once again be focused on the fundamentals, Managing our centre of mass for good position, rolling onto the new ski early and generating pressure early in the turn on the outside ski. This will allow us to better control our turn shape, and have more freedom to control our line; and our speed!
Club Race
There will be a team format Club race on December 31. It will be a SL and details will follow. Watch for clubwide newsletter with a link for registration for this event.
Thursday Night training in Vancouver.
We will be offering 5 Thursday night SL training session during January and Febuary. These training nights will take plave at Grouse. Once again please read the club newsletter for details on registering for this training. Registration will be for the entire series. The club will not be offering individual training nights. This is necessary for planning our staff and equipment needs; as well as lift tickets etc.
