 Hello Skiers!   I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  I have gotten to do some amazing skiing and I hope you have too!   This week we do not have any team practices but it is so important to continue to train on your own.   We have one last week of our endurance block and next week we start with our intensity block!   Keep that visual of a pyramid in mind.  You can't build a tall pyramid without having a large base.   Here is the training for the week: Monday AM:  15 min. of yoga / Check out Yoga with Kassandra!  Monday PM:  Skate Ski / 1:15 Ski with 10 min no poles   Tuesday AM: Yoga and Core / You can find the core on the SNOW web page  Tuesday PM:  Classic Ski / 1:00 Ski with 30 min. of double pole Wednesday AM:   15 min. of yoga / Check out  Yoga with Kassandra!  Wednesday PM:  Skate Ski / Over Distance 2:00  Thursday AM:   Yoga and Core /  You can find the core on the  SNOW  web page  Thursday PM:   Classic Ski / 2 x 8 min.

 Due to the cold and the bad roads we will not have practice today.  Have a great holiday break!  

Hello Everyone! Happy, Merry Everything! I am very sorry that it has taken me so long to post to the blog about our over the break practices. A couple of things to remember about holiday practices: 1)  They are optional 2)  If you can't make it to practices you should most definitely continue to train. 3)  These practices are really fun!  So get stoked!
