FIS Update February 14, 2023

Hello Team, Happy Valentines Day !
The next few weeks are going to busy for everyone, especially your coaches. Upcoming we have a great block to training coming up, followed by the our Provincial mini speed camp, the Parson’s Classic Series and for some athletes a trip to Mission ridge for some more racing. Some things to note are, even though we have a lot training on the calendar athletes should be prepared to manage their time with the help of the coaches. For example if you are planning to train this block, participate in the speed camp race all the events in the Parson’s series and go to Mission ridge. Individualizing your program with the coaches will be important so you can have some rest time and limit the volume during the next few weeks.
Everyone should organize a time to meet with your coaches if you have any questions about the rest of the season and you individual plan. It will be up to you to reach out and organize this with Matou , Jess or Richard

It will be important to have your SG skis ready to go and make sure you are on top tuning your equipment. Hydrate, organize your nutrition. Ask you parents for help if you need it.
