The plan is to classic ski both sessions this week. Frozen Thunder usually requires klister application and for simplicity we tend to skate skiing until we have optimal conditions for classic. With the snow in the forecast, I am optimistic that we can get away with classic skiing and stick wax. Be sure to check the forum on Wednesday night for any updates on Thursdays wax recommendation.
Today is the last chance to register for Alberta Cup this weekend. We have twenty kids registered so good times are in the forecast! Race information will be posted on the forum and more details are below. If you are looking for inspiration, your coach will allow some screen time.
