Some of the bigger-lunged skiers have some big scheduled skiing going on for the next few weeks (7-8 hours +, per week): keep in mind that this is for larger skiers.  If you are in the 11-13 year biological clock (not chronological clock) then back off several % !!

If you have a question about biological clock vs. chronological clock with respect to your skier’s age, please ask!!! This  is how we keep skiers happy and uninjured and not deep-fried! This system really works.

Our little club has some extremely experienced athletes, ski parents (the most important) and health scientists, and now they are parents in our group (they are The Sleeper Cell and there are several and friendly!), and if you want to weigh in, please do, as the experiences are important to share. There are success stories, along with train wreck stories unfortunately, but these are lessons learned and I would hate to not have others learn from them.

Family health & fitness is what this is about: even parents & ski van drivers went skiing last Sunday, No?

Hi APJ team managers,

I have spoken to several families about participating in the Manitoba Championships being held in Kenora, Feb 9-10. The Kenora people hold really well, and safely, organized events and the trails are spectacular! I have links to the “official”, or blocked off by the race committee, hotels and below are their links. This means , if you are booking the rooms, say that you are with the Cross Country Ski Championships. I am planning on showing up in Kenora on the Friday, just so that is done (recommended), but an early Saturday start may do it. I am recommending that we overwhelm the Brewers Inn, not because they make beer, but seriously, because it is close by an official wax room. The others are also first class options, have stayed in them, and it’s Kenora: how far away can it be??? The new beer inn has a good common area, though, for team meetings.

Really: ANY! of  these Inns will be great , close by, and accommodating.

If there are issues, let me know, and we will resolve.

This will be an EPIC weekend! (Worthy of a school assignment report). Enter an event, even if you’re not a racer & head to Kenora! Just to ski some really good trails (voting age persons included)!!!! And it’s good for team participation points.  Read below:
