Well done to everyone who had a race on the weekend in whatever discipline you chose! The Built 4 Speed was spectacular ❗ ❗

We have a week to recover and work on a few technical things this week since our next races are not until later in January. Make sure you are dressing well for the conditions and also allowing yourself plenty of rest to recover from outdoor adventures and of course competitions.

The snow has been really cold the last few weeks so check the base of your skis, it’s probably time for a re-wax. We are headed to warmer temps this week so Solda Perf Red should be a good wax for the job. Remember to brush well first!

Monday 11th: 5 – 6:30pm
Classic – it’s time to jack up those arms and get our double pole on. 8) Wax recommendation to come, but: Swix Blue Extra (4 layers) with a base layer of something green should work a treat though if it’stays this cold. Head lamps and drink belts essential.

Wednesday 13th: 5 – 6:30pm
Skating – time to work on some skating strength. Be prepared for some no poles skiing and a bit of 1 pole skating too! Head lamp and drink belts please!

Saturday 16th: 10am – 12noon (possibly 12:30pm)
It’s time for a classic distance adventure out of town! K Country is the spot. Meet at the Elk Pass parking lot at 10am for a lovely trip up Blueberry Hill. Parents welcome and in face needed! Rhonda will be leading the way so please message her if you can ski with the group on Saturday, and also on the day for information or to let her know if you’re running late/not coming: 403 609 0760.
You’ll need to bring: some waxes and a cork; a drink belt and snack for the ski; and a full change of clothes for after the ski, change before heading back in the car, this is essential!!
