This is the way I see next week…Monday is a holiday and you will all be skiing your heads off somewhere I’m sure.  I’m sort of hoping to go to Northfield because I’ve never been there.  Tues we’re going to do a hard skate workout at the school.  Weds classic technique session at the school.  Thurs is a half day hopefully for everybody??? even the middle schoolers? so we couyld carpool somewhere.  Friday is a day off so we could go someplace and come back to the school to wax for the race on Sat. or just ski at the school.

These are somewhat fluid plans because I have been floating the idea amongst the coaches and powers that be to host the race Sat AT Mohawk!  It is our turn to act as a host school, along with Taconic, no matter where it is held (means we have to see that the course is flagged, have timers available, annouce the results etc. etc.) why not do it at Mohawk.  We are looking at cold weather this week and we have good snow cover at the school.  If this becomes a reality I probably don’t want to stray to far from Mohawk on Fri cuz there might be grooming details to attend to but I’m open to suggestions.  I’ll try to get an answer by say Tues wether it’s a go or not.

Open to suggestions…..

    I am all in favor of an event at the school like the coaches event just before states ( Freestyle ). It was done once before and everyone loved it. We had tried for years to make that happen again but the other teams did not go along with it. Felt the distance we had was to short even with laps and not challenging enough. Also to far to drive. For a league event I agree. But for the fun event at end of season it is perfect.

    I guess what I’m trying to say is. Mohawk is not right for a league event. It is mostly flat. I think for a classical championship there should at least be some striding involved and not just a double pole event. I think a championship should be a true test, and I don’t see that with the terrain we have available. I could see some of the stronger guys actually using skate skis and herringbone when it got to steep.

    Just my thoughts.
    I’ll support what ever happens.
