Stowe Dryland Ski Camp

Afternoon Session: Mountain Biking and Swimming!

For our second adventure today we took to the Stowe Recreational Path and Cady Hill Mountain to test our mountain biking skills. Cady Hill Forest is located just at the end of the rec path in Stowe. Some of our more experienced campers challenged themselves in the woods where they were able to try a variety of different mountain biking terrain. After a steep ascent into the park, groups set off on beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain. The trails all loop back to one another so if there is a particular section a group really enjoyed they were able to give it a few different tries. Mountain biking is a great dryland activity for Ski Racers not only because it works all the right muscles, but it also helps young athletes figure out tactics.

Younger campers stayed off the single track but instead challenged themselves on the rec path, braving slightly rainy conditions. Luckily, the weather held out and all groups were able to make it all the way to downtown Stowe and back. Swimming is a must whenever we pass the swimming hole so most teams jumped in for a quick dip to cool down after their hard work. Time for dinner and our evening activity - can't wait to see what Eric has planned for us tonight!
