Week 11 - Intensity and Casper Race

By -

Hey Skiers!

Congratulations to all the skiers who traveled and raced at Soldier Hollow last weekend! 

While sitting on my couch on Sunday after a lovely ski, I got to thinking about nutrition and remembered a few awesome videos we created and put on SNOW.  Please take a few minutes to check out these resources.

This is our last big push and intensity block before we start to taper.  The time frame for those going to JNs might look a little different and we will be talking about that as well.
