ADULT SKI PROGRAM

About the Adult Ski & Masters Program
KNC has adult programs for a diversity of skiers, whether you are learning to ski, hoping to stay active, or pursuing race ambitions.
This season, KNC is offering the following:
-
Fall Dryland Training (Monday & Wednesday evenings)
-
A 10-week Wednesday night ski group, with two options: one focused on structured workouts for racing (Masters Training Group) and a less-structured social group
-
4-week Adult Ski Programs, day and evening in January and February
-
Skill specific clinics throughout the season (second Saturday of each month)
Masters Fall Dryland Training
Eight weeks of dryland training will focus on strength, core and ski-specific movement. We will utilize the KNC gym to develop strength, trails for ski bounding, and the lodge to provide adequate space for all participants. This year a simple online course will be included so that if a session is missed, participants can progress at home. No experience is necessary. There are sessions provided on Mondays and Wednesdays. Choose both for maximum benefit.
-
Wednesday Sessions: Led by kinesiologist and strength and conditioning coach Shenoa Runge, the 8-week program would follow two 4-week phases:
-
Strength and motor control with some mobility and pre-hab work for foot, ankle, knee and pelvic control/single leg stance competency
-
Strength and power with landing/force absorption drills, building into some velocity and plyo work (variations offered for those who want "lower impact")
-
-
Monday Sessions: Led by Heather Lamson, CANSI III Instructor and strength and conditioning coach. Focus on XC ski-specific strength and movement. Progression of speed, power, higher loading in the gym and sessions on the trails to prep the body for ski season.
Time: 5:30-6:45 pm
Dates: Oct 3/5, 2022 to Nov 21/23, 2022

-
A social ski led by a different Cansi instructor each week and focused on having fun. Mixed abilities and skill levels wanting a group ski with a few tips. Skate and Classic Techniques will alternate. Sign up for both skate and classic for $80 or just one (biweekly) for $50.
