Get ready for the ski season with ski specific drills and training on land. Wear your running shoes, bring poles and water belt/bottle. This is a great way to acclimate to the colder temps, work on ski specific training drills and exercises including ski walking and low impact hill interval training, and it is FUN training in a supportive group! This is a progressive program and consistent attendance/training leads to the most benefit.
