Howdy U14’s,
Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend off! We’ve got lot’s going on this week, take a close look at our housekeeping as well as our extra session Wednesday.
Housekeeping
Ski testing has started! Find out what should go to the swap, and what to look for at the swap! Anytime this week and next, bring your skis in to us at the start or end of any practice with the following on painter’s tape on one of your skis:

- What skis they are (Training, or race)
- Your weight (In Kg. preferably)
Strides & Glides

Monday (14) No Practice
Enjoy a little time off for Thanksgiving!
Tuesday (15) @ Canmore Nordic Centre
5:00-6:30. Agility & Run. Meet at the team room.
Wednesday (16) Silver Tip Uphill Run (STUR)
4:45-6:15. Uphill Run Time Trial. Meet at MTN House Parking Lot.
Once per year we like to invite our U14 crowd to join the U16/18 crew for our uphill run time trial. We use these time trials for the older athletes to determine heart rate data, but for you all tonight will be a good challenge for a workout and a chance to start our conversations about warming up for intensity. Start list is here: STUR Start list
*Note our different time schedule for this practice.
Thursday (17) Biathlon
4:45-6:45. Indoor SCATT sessions. Sign Up Here.
The range will be closed this week while Frozen Thunder rolls out onto the track, we’ll use that opportunity to use our SCATT system instead. The SCATT system allows us to see a live tracking of what you see when you shoot, so we can look a little deeper at the quality of your shooting that we can’t normally see.
You’ll need to book a half hour time slot with the link above.
Saturday (19) @ Canmore Nordic Centre
1:00-3:00. Skate Ski & Trail Run. Meet at the ski track start by the entrance to the range.
Ski time is here! Take your running gear and leave it outside the team room, we’ll come back at 2:00 to change and hit the trails. You’ll need a Frozen Thunder Day Pass for this session, which can only be purchased at the Day Lodge.
Remember to change your pole baskets, and wax your skis before coming up to set yourself up for success!
