Masters Fall Continues

By Adam Terko on 23 September, 2019 in Masters Blog, Masters Training Schedule

Don’t forget about our Masters training options as we head into the fall months!

The newest weekly training session is the 127 Bikepath Roll on Wednesday evenings. Beginning at 5:15-5:30, this low-key weekly option meets at the first parking lot on the right off Ethan Allen Homestead Road.

All levels are welcome, and this path provides generally flat terrain with some gently slopes. Your choice of technique!

Unfortunately, they closed the Range Trails at about 3:00 today- too late for us to get the word out to everyone. Juniors are skiing the fields at MMU, BKL & Masters cancelled. Our sincere apologies to everyone who got turned away at the gate. Frustrating day!

Winter Masters Training FAQ

Weekly Training Plans:

The technique (skate or classic) and training information will be published Sunday evening in our Masters Training Doc. However, due to often rapidly changing snow conditions please plan to review the Snow Report and Masters Training Doc around 3PM to confirm the plan for the day.

If you are unsure or if conditions are likely to change, consider bringing both skate and classic equipment. Additionally, early in the season please be prepared for dry land training (ie sneakers & bounding poles) or alternate locations (the Notch, Sleepy,…).

Session Start Times:

We ask that all Masters have skis on and be on snow by the planned session start times (3:45 & 6:00PM). Being on snow on time helps our Masters Coaches keep sessions organized, avoids having fellow skiers standing in the cold and maximizes ski time.

On Classic ski evenings please plan to arrive early to wax or get wax advice from the coaches if needed. Early in the season we also encourage those new to Masters to arrive a early in order to get acquainted with the coaches and coaching groups.

Coaching Coverage:

Afternoon Session(3:45 – 5:15PM):

Afternoon sessions will be lead by Coach Christa.

Evening Session (6:00 – 7:30PM):

Tuesdays: Will be our full coaching day where we plan to have three coaches and three ability groups. Blue: Experienced Skiers, White = Intermediate Green = Novice/Beginner. If you arrive late and miss the group gathering, a white board will be available directing you the the general direction of your group.

Thursday: (1) Coach Liam will lead drills and activities for those wanting additional instruction, (2) others will ski freely or according to a prescribed workout plan. (Check-in with Coach Liam. He will provide tips and suggestions for self guided drills/activities).

Race Training Plans:

For those who purchased race training plans Coach Adam will be reaching out to you to build your plan.

Parking Reminder

Please plan to park in the large parking lot on the left side before the grooming equipment building. Access to the trails and Walker building can be obtained through the tunnels that go beneath the ski trails. Please do not park on the side of the road near the smaller lot at the top of the hill.
