Did you enjoy the summer program? Got a lot of training in, along with some good technique work? Well don’t lose your base in the fall. The best way to have a successful ski season is to continue to work on your base endurance, ski specific speed ski technique and ski strength though the fall. In the fall weekday program we do this with a balance of long ski and running workouts, and we begin to tune up for the season with ski specific intervals. We’ll ski, pole hike, and tear apart your technique. Of course it being a Minnesota Valley program there is the outside chance there will be a game day every so often. This is the best way to prepare for a great winter ski season. Limited to 15 skiers. Meet at Hyland at 3:00 pm. Kids with late dismissal will start at 3:30 pm. This program is also open to skiers who did not participate in the summer program.

Open to all high school and junior high school cross-country skiers. There will be ability groups for all levels from beginners to elite athletes. This is the program that has produced national and state champions.

The fall advanced program adds two more training days to the basic program. We ski with the Competition team on Tuesdays and the Sunday program on the weekend. The off day on Thursday allows us to schedule an on your own longer training day for Saturday. Shorter days and the end of daylight savings make long workouts harder to comeby as we approach the ski season. Reid coaches this program.

This is for the runners, swimmers, volleyball and soccer players, and the skiers who just want another workout. Split up between distance workouts and technique work, this is the perfect way for multi sport athletes to keep in contact with their skiing through your fall season. As you head into your fall sports it is easy to put skiing on the back burner. But you can lose muscle memory and technique over the fall! Since it is vital that you ski some in the fall, this is your opportunity to do so with some of the best coaches around. We’ll sometimes use the trails at Elm Creek. They are fabulous, one loop takes 1:30 over 18 miles of trails. We will also use the new Cedar Lake trails which take you around Minneapolis, as well as our great home base of Hyland. Lara and Mike will coach on Sunday. Limited to 20 skiers.
