- Speed Camp: Wednesday, March 23, 3:30-5:30 Craftsbury March 22, 2016
All,
Craftsbury is holding a camp tomorrow that sounds amazing. With the short Wednesday schedule at the schools, this might actually work for avid skiers who haven’t started another sport yet.
From Craftsbury:
Calling all skiers from ages 6-18: clear your calendars for tomorrow, Wednesday, after school at 3:30 p.m., and come on up to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center for an afternoon Speedcamp with Simi Hamilton, Ben Saxton, Noah Hoffman, Erik Bjornsen, Paddy Caldwell and others. They’ll be covering technique, cornering, downhills and transitions – all areas you can grab some seconds in a race to recover, close a gap, or make your move on competitors. Besides, skiing faster is always FUN! Grab your skate skis, boots, poles and some water, and get ready for an afternoon of ripping around on skis!
Could be great!
