Skate ski practice.

Elm Creek has assigned practice times for this week. Our time is Monday 4:15 to 5:45. The bus will be leaving Andover HS at 3:20 and Oak View at 3:30.

Middle school skiers will pick up their skis at Elm Creek. This will be our only scheduled time at Elm Creek for the week, it will be important to take advantage of all ninety minutes.

Week of Thanksgiving Break

Hopefully you are enjoying your days off from school. This is a difficult week to keep focused on training. However that is what we will have to do. For those looking to compete for a varsity spot you will need to be out training each of the days. Currently the parks are closed for skiing. However you may find a golf course to cruise around on to break up your endurance training program. We will have practice Friday morning at the school, starting at 9:00 AM. The emphasis will be on strength and endurance. If you need to get on some snow Trollhaugen will have the downhill areas open to Nordic skiers this weekend from 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM for $5.
