Well, our rain dance last night didn’t quite give us sun this morning but we certainly didn’t let it stop us for the morning session! The older groups (Germany, USA and Sweden) braved the drizzle and headed down the bike path to have a little biking fun in the rain, complete with hot chocolate at the end of the path. While some were a little weary about braving the elements, everybody came back muddy and full of smiles.
The younger groups stayed at the Round Hearth for a fantastic session led by Coach Danny on basic athletic stance. Danny chose to start camp with this important fundamental because it serves as the primary building block for the rest of our instructional sessions this camp. Danny taught campers the importance of knee & ankle flexion, tight core muscles, knee and foot position, spine angle and hand position. Proper body positioning while doing anything athletic, especially skiing, will help avoid injuries and help these athletes become strong and fast! The session consisted of a functional warm-up and explanation of body positioning and correction, a jump progression and then a circuit to practice all that Danny taught campers. Afterwards we hit the hot tub to let our muscles have a rest! Thanks Danny!
