If your calendars were already marked, great! – you won’t miss out on this coming Sunday’s APJ annual expedition to Falcon Ridge Ski resort!

Sunday’s session (February 25) will be at Falcon Ridge (Falcon Trails Resort) – NOT at Assiniboine Park.

You’ll find Falcon Trails at the end of the south shore road of Falcon Lake: there will be great snow, milder temps, and awesome terrain!  Google Falcon Trails for a map and great resort stories or http://www.falconridgeski.com/.

Please prepare to arrive for skiing at 11:00 am.  We will ski together as a large group (or two).

There is a yummy restaurant there, or bring your lunch.  Bring helmets (or rent) if you want to have some more fun tubing in the afternoon… or keep skiing!  Many families stay to the end of the day and all ages have had a great time.

It’s a provincial park so remember to bring your park pass!

Driving time from Assiniboine Park to Falcon is 2 hours.  Leaving the city by 8:30 will give you plenty of time to unload the vehicle once you get there.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Secondly, the annual Dash for Cash event is next week Tuesday February 27 at Windsor Park.  It’s a really fun, very short event for kids in Nursery School through Grade 6.  Only $1 per child.  Registration is on site from 5:30-6:30.  Races begin at 6:45 and are usually finished by 7:30.  All children win either chocolate loonies or actual cash loonies!  Winners also receive medals.  More details about Dash for Cash can be found here on the CCSAM website.

Third, APJ coaches Ihor, Jeff, Katherine, and Yan will all be in Thompson with their children (James, Hayes, Hudson, Axelle, Nastassja, & Don-Han) who are competing in the MB Winter Games along with fellow-APJer, PJ McManus, from March 4-7… so Sunday March 4 will not likely run as a formal APJ session.

Hi Skiers,

We will be skiing Sunday 1:30 in Assiniboine Park, Track Attackers should plan on a skate ski session before the hot chocolate!

Coach Ihor

Hello Skiers,

We will ski Windsor, Thursday Feb. 15, 7:00 at the ski racks, as usual.  Bring skate equipment and be ready to do some shorter than normal interval efforts!  The temperature will be dropping so bring something to cover your face!

Also, Manitoba Games teams meeting after skiing, in the clubhouse at 8:15, going over the trip to Thompson.

AND the McMillan, Loiselle and Barwinsky families skied up a storm at the Manitoba Champs this past weekend, check the results at RESULTS.

Thanks,

Coach Ihor

Hi everybody!

we have run out of coaches for tomorrow Feb 11! As such we won’t have lesson plans running but we do encourage family groups to meet in the park, as usual, for 1:30 and enjoy the trails and toboggan slide,

We’ll be back at next week with hot chocolate,

thanks

Coach Ihor

Hello,  we will be skiing at Windsor Park this evening for 7:00 pm, classic technique and grip wax,

See you at the ski racks!

Coach Ihor

Hi just went to confirm the park and it’s a whiteout and the tracks are all wiped out and the wind is way way bigger than planned.

Stay at home please, sorry for the the notice,

Coach Ihor

In spite of some wind we will carry on and ski this afternoon as per the usual schedule.  Be mindful of the wind so make sure that your skier has something to pull up on to their face.

Classic skis and grip wax training for the track attackers.

As before- hot chocolate and wagon wheels after!

Dress warmly!

Coach Ihor
