Tuesday and Wednesday  are Technique focus Sessions we like to video technique and make real time adjustments with athletes, as well as, work on proper technique positioning and cues and incorporating these into drills.  We have found these Spring sessions really set athletes up to carry improved technique into their summer volume, intensity and speed training.

Sunday Distance Skis at Franklin Bridge 8:30 am - 10:30 am.  These sessions we work on reviewing proper technique at the beginning and then carrying that technique into and throughout a longer distance ski.  Athletes build endurance strength and discover where they need to become stronger, be it core stability, balance, upper body strength, etc.  We begin these sessions with body weight strength including bands and plyos exercises teaching good muscles activation and warm up that athletes use throughout the year to become stronger, more flexible and more stable/balanced.
