Woo hoo, it’s snowing! Winter is here and it’s going to be a cold one this week so please make sure you dress warm and wear a toque, no headbands/buffs for temps below -5.

Monday (10)
Family training day – parents and siblings welcome (running in the snow involved!)
Team Scavenger Hunt run at the Nordic Centre, 10:30 – 12:30pm (meet at the Team Room). You will work in teams to solve riddles that will take you to different locations around the trails. You’ll need to bring some kind of photo taking device – iPod, cell phone, camera. Also a drink belt and a change of clothes because we’ll finish up the session with 30 mins of core training in the team room.

Wednesday (12)
Skate ski, working on tempo changes in technique. Meet at the Team Room ready to go at 5pm. Head Lamps are a must!

Saturday (15)
Classic ski at Lake Louise, 2hrs. Meet at Moraine Lake Road at 10am. It’s a 1 hour drive from Canmore. It will be cold so please wear a lot of clothes, including warm gloves/mits and bring your drink belt and snack. Very important to bring a full change of clothes to put on before heading back to Canmore and food/water of course. For kick wax; use a base, plus Rode multigrade violet and cover with Swix blue extra. Please do this before arriving to save time. It will also be very useful to glide wax your skis with LF4!

Waxing clinics
There are a number of wax clinics happening for parents, including one on Saturday afternoon. Sign up on the doodle link below for a time that best suits you. You will need to bring your own skis to test your wax skills on!
