First of all, congratulations are in order to Charlie Dayton, who was the only person crazy enough to join me for a hiked run in the storm Sunday. A bit windy, but it was nice to have "only tracks".

Our new J3 coach Leland Davis will be setting SL on Cameron tomorrow (Friday) at 1:00pm, for all who are interested. Try to let me know if you're planning to go (dan.hutner@gmail.com), so we know how many to expect. And please do your best to help him out with setting and pulling.

Training has gotten off to a good start these first two weeks, and we're already seeing dramatic improvement. Our "Christmas Camp" starts on Saturday, and is a great opportunity to work on some of the more elusive skills that are hard to pick up training just once or twice a week. The schedule this year will be:

Saturday 12/22 - Monday 12/24 (half day), Wednesday 12/26 - Sunday 12/30.

We hope to see you all out there.

This weekend will be a GS focus, with gate training Saturday and Sunday mornings on Lower Allen, then drills, video, and directed free skiing in the afternoons. Monday will be a half day, with SL training in the morning on a trail TBA.

As always, the latest training and race information is available on the website's new calendar at http://www.middskiclub.com/calendar.html. This is directly linked to my own calendar, so I highly recommend you check this for the very latest information.

See you all soon,
-Dan
