On May 5th the new Alberta World Cup Academy team took off to Silver Star, BC for our first training camp of the year.
We arrived to tones of snow and great weather conditions for the entire week. In the morning we would wake up and be skiing by 9am. The trails were in excellent condition with a good 10-15km loop of nicely groomed tracks. There were occasional snowfalls throughout the week, and on the last day we woke up to a good foot of fresh powder!
In the afternoons we would we would change things up by doing several activities such as weights, running, canoeing, or soccer.
All in all, I think everyone put in a solid week of training, while having fun and learning a lot at the same time. Thanks to all the coaches who helped out and a special thanks Glenn Bond for giving us the opportunity to paddle in the outrigger canoes.
