The Skimo training season began this week with a new athlete equipment orientation and transition practice at the team gym. The new skills that were learned and improved during the session will prepare the athletes for a successful beginning of on-snow training. We’re super excited to have this year’s group of new athletes on the team and are looking forward to seeing their skills develop throughout the season. 

With the first Utah Skimo event scheduled for December 2nd (conditions permitting), we are anxious to get on snow as soon as possible.  Unfortunately, Mother Nature hasn’t cooperated so far, but at least the mountain biking and running have been exceptional for our athletes who participate in those sports. Do those snow dances, and hopefully we’ll be training on skis in a few short weeks.
