SUS skiers getting their grass skiing on!
We've had a challenging but fantastic week with our new skiers as they have adjusted to Laramie and been fighting illness. I think this week should be AMAZING and hoping we'll get everyone back on the trails.

We had to adjust an earlier recovery block so although the training says we are on recovery we are going to do one more conditioning/over distance week. Then recovery.
