what is it
Ski FEAST is a year round nordic ski club.
It’s affiliated with U.S. Ski & Snowboard as well as the Rocky Mountain Nordic division.
This program is for individuals looking to train and compete at a higher level in Nordic skiing beyond the high school season.
If participants are not interested in the triathlon component of FEAST, this is the program for you.
what we do
Training plans are emailed out on a weekly basis.
Practice days of the week alternate on a weekly basis with Tri FEAST.
For example, one week Ski FEAST practice will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The following week they will be Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
Three (3) practices per week:
Two roller ski practices
One day of strength, running, hill bounding, hiking, paddle boarding or other fun outdoor activities.
There is no attendance requirement. You just have to communicate missed practices with Coach Kyle in advance. Ultimately, you’ll get out what you put in with this program.
Practice times:
Usually around 5:45 - 7:45 pm for weekday practices.
When we train on Sundays, it will be a morning practice.
Saturdays are always off (except when we’re at camps or races)
Training camps (during the summer/fall and ski season)
Races/Events (roller ski and on-snow ski races)
