Christmas Race Camp


We had a great early season turnout for the first day of the 12 week race program this past Saturday 12/22/12.  The athletes worked on Balanced Athletic Stance and Railroad Tracks.  We will continue this progression on Saturday 12/29/12 at 8:30.  There will also be a fun race (GS) in the afternoon.


This Thursday 12/27/12 we begin our three day Christmas Camp.  The Christmas Camp will follow the USSA Skills Quest early season progression, beginning with a Balanced Athletic Stance and proceeding through a fun race (GS) on the final day of the camp.  Slalom skis would be preferable for training on the first two days of the camp.

The camp follows the 8:30 - 2:30 Race Program schedule with the following exceptions; there will be a tuning clinic sponsored by BestTunes and Swix on Thursday at 3:30 at the Westside Lodge.  On Friday there will be a panel discussion and question/answer with three current and former collegiate ski racers.  This session will begin at 3:30, also at the Westside Lodge.  Panel members will include Victoria Bobbe - Colby Sawyer, Coach Hilary Lemelin - Plymouth State and Coach Hilary Reis - Babson.

The panel will discuss how to gain admission to a college program and what it is like to be a collegiate student athlete.  Hope everyone can join us!

Remember, we begin the day at 8:30 so arrive at 8 AM so that you can get situated and "booted up".  We will take a lunch break from 11:30 until noon so bring a snack in your pocket for a mid-morning break!
