There will be seperate coaches for fitness/recreational skiers and for skiers focussing on racing, so you will be skiing with others who have similar abilities and goals.Saturdays 9:00 – 11:30 a.m. in the Gatineau Park The training goals will be a combination of the components identified above, but will include more endurance and/or tempo workouts and long intervals.
