From Jessica Neal:
Hello Nordic skiers! Thanks for the fun practices last week. Everyone is progressing really nicely with both classic and skate skiing. Practice this week will be Tuesday and Thursday again - Tuesday skate and Thursday classic. Here is a schedule of skiing progression for the next couple of weeks. When we are meeting away from the Lone Mountain Ranch, please make sure that your child has adequate clothes, water, and a snack. If the location is switched for any reason I will let you know in advance. Thanks so much and see you tomorrow!
