 Greetings Skiers!   I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break and got to eat a lot of good food!  I also hope you are ready to rock out some more dryland training this week. From the forecast, we don't have much snow in the near future (maybe some this weekend.)  However, if that changes be ready to do some skiing!   If you did a lot of training over the break, make sure you are recovering and being able to absorb all the work you did! Please come prepared to be outside for practice to do more strength circuits, hill bounding, and running!  The workouts in red are optional workouts for those of you who are feeling you need to get in more hours. I am working on planning a ski for Saturday and will let you know more as we get closer! Monday AM:   20 - 30 min. Run on your own   Monday PM:   30 min.

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 are feeling like you need more training than you are getting with the team the workouts in the green can be a good addition to your training.  Freshman and new skiers this is not recommended for you.  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!
