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.  It looks like from the forecast we don't have any snow in the near future.  If you did a lot of training over the break make sure you are getting the recovery you need to absorb all the work you did! Please come prepared to be outside for practice to do some more strength circuits, hill bounding and running!  The workouts in red are optional work outs for those of you who are feeling you need to get in more hours.
