    Volume this week for everyone. This is the last volume week of the season. It should not be too difficult to spend a couple of hours a day on snow with no school this week.

    We will have team training on Monday (volume), Wednesday (speed) and the AB Cups in Camrose on Fri-Sat-Sun. Plan to ski bigger volume days on Tuesday and Thursday. Talk to your friends to organize 2.5-3.0 hours of distance skiing each on those 2 days.

    See note below about booking a room for the Edmonton AB Cups, deadline on February 21st to book.

    Monday (17): LC/LC+. 0930-1200. Skate skiing, distance. Bring a couple of bars. <span style=”color: #993300;”>Meet at the BWTC.</span>

    Tuesday (18): No team training. Plan a volume day with your friends. 2.5-3.0 hrs. Have fun with it!
