All School activities are canceled for today, per Craig Sickles email yesterday.


With that said I will be at Pineland at 10 am to ski if anyone wants to join me.
BUT make sure your parents are comfortable driving in these conditions.
You can also just stay home and go for a ski or snowshoe from your back yard.
Please get out and do something for an hour, even if it is jst a walk with your poles.


Happy Holidays and I will see most of you early Wednesday morning
I will post the entire Holiday Camp agenda here later today.

Week of Dec 18 and more

We will be heading to Pineland and we will be skating all week, unless we get snow and Pineland can set tracks.




Some of you may be traveling for the weekend, but I will still have practice Saturday for anyone who can make it.
My Christmas present to you is Saturday's practice will be at 10:00am :)




It is a good habit to stay after practice for 10 minutes and wax your skis. The more you wax your skis the faster they get. I'll let you know what wax to wax with each day.




Also, I would take advantage of the LL Bean free hot box, just make sure you have the discount card with you to prove you are on the ski team. I have more if you did not get one.
Make sure they are clean before you drop them off. If you are dropping off classics skis for a hot box then make sure to clean the base and the sides of the skis, NO kick wax can be anywhere on the skis.


Sundays are a very important day to get out and ski on your own. Skiing should be low level/easy, but longer duration, 90 minutes. Keep the intensity low so you can focus on working on technique.
Think of what we tell you to work on during the week.


Elysha and I really appreciate the hard work you have been putting in at practice. Let's keep the energy going and get ready for our first race Jan 3.
