We've got snow falling in Saskatchewan this week! ❄️ Last week, 53 athletes, 7 coaches, and lots of helpful parents were able to get on snow over a week early at the 2024 CCS Snow Camp in Lake Louise. Lots of kilometers skied with friends, fresh snow, fun activities on and off the trail, and a practice race made for a great camp. There were 8 different ski clubs represented, which is great to see. We're almost ready for the first ski races of the season!
60 athletes and 11 coaches from Manitoba and Saskatchewan gathered in Moose Mountain Provinci al Park last weekend for a collaborative dryland training camp to prepare for the upcoming cross country ski season. Thanks to all who came from near and far, and contributed to a memorable weekend! It was a weekend of contrasts, as Saturday was one of the windiest days in memory. Despite the extreme conditions, we were still able stay active and safe during 3 training sessions on Saturday, although not many photos were taken. 🌬😵‍💫 The resolve and determination required on Saturday was rewarded on Sunday, as conditions calmed, the sun came out and participants were treated to a beautiful fall day. Athletes skate rollerskied with power and high tempo in a sprint simulation around the campground race course and added some more kilometers on their rollerskis, before saying "Good Byes!" and heading home.
Looking back on the Saskatchewan Development Team's Kananaskis Camp from last month. 16 athletes from the Dev Team, 5 days, 4 nights, lots of parents and coaches to lend a hand, made for a great training camp in the mountains. Hiking up Wind Ridge

Hiking up Wind Ridge and Guinn's Pass, rollerskiing at the Canmore Nordic Centre and on Legacy Trail and Bill Milne Trail, plus lots of food, shenanigans and a trip to the pool mixed in as well. Thanks to Cam, Gabe and Jason for providing some excellent photos. 📸

"Damp but happy" sums up the first full day in the Ottawa/Gatineau Region for Team Sask at Nordiq Canada Ski Nationals. Today was the Official Training Day to give the athletes and coaches a chance to ski the race courses before the racing begins tomorrow, with an Interval Start Free Technique race. 16 Sask athletes racing from U16 to U20, plus 3 Sask "alumni". We refueled in the afternoon by visiting a cabane a sucre for a french-canadian traditional. Beans, potatoes, sausage, bacon, pancakes and maple syrup for supper! 🍁
The group had a fairy-ly good at Alberta Youth Championships. 🧚‍♂️ Thirteen athletes from Saskatchewan (La Ronge, Preeceville, Regina, and Saskatoon) competed at Alberta Youth Championships in Bragg Creek last weekend. AYC is an annual event
The group had a fairy-ly good at Alberta Youth Championships. 🧚‍♂️ Thirteen athletes from Saskatchewan (La Ronge, Preeceville, Regina, and Saskatoon) competed at Alberta Youth Championships in Bragg Creek last weekend. AYC is an annual event for U12 and U14 skiers that is focused on creating a fun race weekend, with all athletes and coaches staying together at nearby Camp Horizon. There's a costume relay, sprints, wave start skate races, group meals in the dining hall, adance and guest presenter (this year it was Olympic ski racer Olivia Bouffard-Nesbitt). Thanks @xc_bragg and @nordiqalberta for putting on a great event!
Great racing today for the 2nd and final day of Provincial Championships! A Free Technique Pursuit was on the menu, based off yesterday's Classic Sprint results. The sun was shining and the course was in great shape.
