Start doing your Snow Dances again!!!! Trails are hard and icy, and snow is thin!
THIS WEEK:
FEB 9 and FEB 12
Let’s stick with the skate skis… as it is hovering around the zero mark for practice time. Maybe colder later in the week,…. maybe a few flakes of snow… but who knows.
MON PARK GATE SKI:
ARRIVE ON TIME AND BRING A HEADLIGHT FOR MONDAY
My plans are to have a “distance ski” night on monday – a long ski out to the very back of the Nordic Centre hopefully – straight out Banff Trail. We will give a couple minutes for stragglers to arrive – but then will go straight out banff trail as far as we can go before turning around.
THURS OLYMPIC THEME:
We will ski less distance (for those athletes competing on the weekend) – but have a lot of fun. We will imitate various Winter Olympic Sports…. on skis. Think Hockey, Bobsleigh, Speed Skating, Curling, Ski Mo, Figure Skating….. and have a Flag Challenge.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL THOSE COMPETING IN NORDIC AND BIATHLON (AND OTHER?) SPORTS AT ALBERTA WINTER GAMES NEXT WEEKEND
