LHS Nordic Ski Team Blog!!

Greetings everyone!   I hope you all got some training in last week and are ready to do some classic skiing this week.   The snow at Happy Jack is looking good!  There are very few thin patches so even if you have new skis you should be fine to ski on them!  If you want to be safe you can leave a layer of glide wax on your skis so if you do hit something, it scratches your wax and not your base. As of right now, there hasn't been any grooming so we will be rocking the classic skiing.  Monday am:   Core on your own Monday pm:  Classic Skiing / 30 min. Warm-up / 45 min.
