Another fun weekend - we managed to get on some beautiful new snow on Saturday!
What you should be focusing on at this point is FUN and recovery! You should basically only be doing activities that sound fun to you or are eustress (help you in your recovery like yoga, walks, stretching, rolling, etc.) There is also TONS of snow and it's a great idea to get on your skis. Spring skiing, especially crust skiing, is a gift to us and allows us to gain valuable ski skills when others are already on their rollerskis! They are still grooming Happy Jack, probably not for long, or go do some plowing through deep snow in the Snowies or Chimney Park. We are also hoping crust skiing is in our future We will start with some chill yoga this week, to help with that eustress and make us all happy to see each other! Team Training: Tuesday:

Let's go with the extreme tapering program - be as lazy as possible. Take elevators, lie down to study, everything you can do to give your body its best shot at peaking! Also, you need to eat well and a lot this week. Get that body fueled! Monday:
What an incredible weekend of racing! Our performances were amazing and we are so proud of everyone!
This week is week 2 of peaking and it is recovery so PLEASE pay attention to the schedule, we need you to recover so you can be read to rock this weekend! We have officially started our peaking program so things will change at times so pay attention and please don't start new activities. We only have 4 weeks until Nationals so it's time to start concentrating on staying/getting healthy, eating well, resting and focusing your energy where it is needed! This peaking programs works extremely well if you
