Note from Coach John

Hi All,
After a great start to the ski team 2020/2021 campaign, it is disappointing to have the season pause due to Cumberland County being designated YELLOW. It is important to keep up the momentum we are building by skiing when possible and staying active if unable to be on snow. As of this writing, the local skiing is quite good with trails at Pineland, Riverside and Twin Brook all being groomed. We can expect a wet Christmas so try to get out now and be looking to get back skiing as the temperature drops next week.

It is important to stay positive and find a routine that gets you doing a daily activity focused on skiing. Ideally this is skiing (if you can), but could also be running, strength, hiking balance, stretching, etc. When you are skiing, keep focused on a skill to work on. This could be a strong double pole, V1 using both sides, V2 up hill, V2 Alt, etc. and do build in a period for no pole skate, speed pick ups, slow technique level 1 (easy) skiing.

Wishing everyone a happy holiday and looking forward to getting back together as a team soon. Please feel free to contact myself or Keith with any questions.

Best,
John
