Last Week
We had a full week of training, with a mix of some SG skills both Thursday and Friday mornings with the U14 speed Camp. We had some much needed freeskiing, especially good on Saturday, except for the crazy lift lines. Wrapping the weekend with some great SL skiing on Blackcomb, both full gate, and some panelled SL sets. I really loved seeing the way you guys were starting to move in those Pannelled environments. Some new faces out for XC skate skiing on Saturday too! The skate skiing movements are so valuable for what we are trying to do in our skiing (re. ankle flexion; and movement on a moving ski). I also saw that we are starting to see some fatigue in some of you, so please manage your sleep and nutrition, we will continue to monitor and adjust training accordingly when needed.
