The cold nip to the air and the pictures of snowflakes in the forecast has inspired me to write the first blog post of the 2019-2020 ski season! Here are a few housekeeping items you can take care of while you are waiting for the snow to start to fall! First, if you are renting skis, base camp will be doing their rentals Nov. 1st - 14th.  There will be extended hours until 7:00 pm and the first 100 people to rent will get a gift! If you have not gotten a physical yet now is the time to do it!  Also, go by the activities office to get the rest of your paperwork filled out. I have put a link to the race schedule on the blog in hopes that this will help you plan ahead. If you are interested in ordering a swix team jacket for $91 please email Amy Williams at aparkerwill@gmail.com ASAP! Last but not least, this blog post was written by my sister is a very worthwhile read. https://www.snowyoming.org/radiating-dendrites

We are on the downward slope to College & Junior Nationals!!! Coaches Christi and Rachel, as well as Trevor, will be headed to Krasnoyarsk, Russia for the World University Games! Something for everyone to aspire to! For the rest of the team, we'll be getting ready for Nationals. REMINDER: We are in week 4 of the peaking program so things will change at times so pay attention and please don't start new activities. We only have 2 weeks until Jr. Nationals so it's time to continue working on staying/getting healthy, eating well, resting and focusing your energy where it is needed! This peaking program works extremely well if you: do the training properly and don't do too much (you'll get tired and not race well) you do the training properly and don't do too little (you'll get sick!) Training 2/25 Monday: TAKE A NAP. That is the official training for the day so do it! Tuesday: 5:15, Education Gym Yoga (Becca) Wednesday: 4:15,...
