February 10th Grooming Report
More than just Skiing!
Well, skiing is the number one focus, but in getting there, JHSC Nordic programs cover a lot of ground; dry land training, weight training, nutrition, good grades in school, and every once in a while, a bit of a diversion. Thanks to Coach George for sending in the image of some of the Juniors having a good time, playing a game of hockey.
Many of our JHSC skiers are currently competing at the third and final IMD Qualifier in McCall, ID today and tomorrow. So far in today’s sprint races our very own Aurora Stiles and Nate Streubel have finished first in their division. There are lots of other notable finishes; the results are available on the event website or from Zone 4 Timing. This weekend’s racing will determine who gets to go to Nationals in Lake Placid, NY in March.
Closer to home, while we’re still battling crunchy snow, the Husky’s results were mostly favorable today. The single journey through the woods covered pretty much every trail with a slight favor towards smoothing out the skate lanes over resetting classic tracks. Moose Poop, Homeward Bound, and Outward Bound received multiple passes with fresh classic tracks. The fields were crunchier to begin with, due to recent sunshine, but after multiple passes are skiing pretty well and quite fast.
If you haven’t heard, one of our valley moose has made national news. Here is a link to the video of the moose chasing skiers at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Don’t forget we’re having our own Moose Chase one week from today, get those registrations in! And finally, Cranky the moose is still hanging out with no more reports of him chasing anyone recently.
Groomer’s choice for today is the close woods, Moose Poop, Outward Bound, and Homeward Bound.
