This is the most important training week of the season so don't let your turkey stop you from putting in some hours of training!  If you can't be on skis take your running shoes or roller skis and hit the pavement!   If you feel like you need more training than you are getting with the team, the green workouts can be a good addition to your training. However, this is not recommended for freshmen and new skiers. In addition, these extra workouts should not compromise our afternoon workouts with the team.  We will be cross-training this week!   Please bring your running shoes and your bounding poles!  Be ready for anything!   Also, Please remember gloves, hats, PANTS ski clothes that are not cotton t-shirts, and food to close the glycogen window!
