Fast becoming Fall

No apologies for not writing in several months. The summer has been great. The ORN JRT really gelled over the summer with many skiers really getting in to their training. We had a terrific group of skiers right up in to September, where we ran in to the juggernauts that are Fall Sports and School. For the fall, we have cut it back to 1 day of week, knowing that everyone is getting ample cardio work with their teams. We are concentrating our efforts on upper body strength and technique. There is always room for improvement in these areas!

This week, we're going to do a pretty crazy workout. I have set up a number of "tow straps". The idea is that one skier will be towing a partner up a hill while double poling. Should be good fun. I think the stronger folks won't have a problem, but we may need to handicap it a bit for some.

The plan for the winter and later half of the fall has yet to be sussed out. I am toying with the idea of a "travel team" that will attend Eastern Cups, but I want to be sure to augment the existing programs, not conflict with them.

Hopefully I will be able to get some video or pictures up before too long.
