Training Plan for Saturday 2/25/2012

        This weekend brings a very busy schedule to Mt. Abram Resort. The Race program will train in a morning session only on Saturday. In the afternoon, the Sandy Fitch-Dave Gilpatrick Memorial Race will take place on Lower Boris. In memory of two great Mt. Abram Patrollers, this race benefits the Cancer Society to help cure this terrible disease which claimed the lives of both Sandy & Dave far too early in their lives. Entry fee is $10 with all proceeds going to the Cancer Society of Maine.Registration will be in the base lodge. This race is put on by the Mt. Abram Ski Club with a huge effort by the Race Program athletes who set up and run the race. If you would like to help, contact Coach Hutch on Saturday morning.
        The Ski Club's Annual Auction takes place Saturday night starting at 5:30 pm In the Loose Boots Lounge. This is the biggest fundraiser each year for the Ski Club who's mission statement is to facilitate getting local athletes, kids and adults outside in the winter.

• Saturday's training plan for the HS group will be GS. With a focus on technique, Coaches will set helper brushes if needed to enhance tactics. 
• The MS group will train GS as well. Level shoulders, pole touch and hand position will be the focus for the day.
• Dev teams will be training stubbies with the focus on turn shape, quiet upper body and hand position/pole touch. 

Congratulations to all our athletes who participated in their State Meets over the past two weeks. With States behind us, the focus for the remainder of the year will be building towards next year! See you Saturday morning................
