2010 / 2011 SKI SEASON 

2 coaching choices available 

1. Master Training Group - $800 plus G.S.T - $840

Skiers joining this program should have a desire to join the workouts on a regular basis from September 2nd through to late March ( I will run extra spring workouts until March 24th this season ) with the ultimate goal of competing in some local races and loppets, World Masters and Transjurassienne World Loppet.  MTG members are guided through my program towards peaking for the race of their choice each season with a special 2011 emphasis also placed on the Transjurassienne or World Masters. Along with the regular workouts such as technique, roller skiing, ski striding and specific strength we will have lots of long distance ski days.
Also included in 2009/2010 MTG program is:

1. Two evening workouts per week falling between Tues - Thurs in the fall and winter. No more technique Tuesdays so you never know what the workout may be ! Mixture of ski striding and rollerkskiing sessions.
2. One workout per weekend with one weekend off per month to do your own activities and a special 2 day weekend mini camp per month for September, October, November. On-snow weekends will consist of long skis, technique sessions and racing of course.
3. First option and guaranteed spots for the Silverstar camp, Transjurassienne and World Masters Trips. No extra coaching fees for the annual Lake Louise camp which this year will be 4 days of skiing!
4. A personal early fall planning meeting to go over strengths and weaknesses and goals for upcoming ski season
5. Access to training and waxing advice via email when I am away. See below under "special info" for dates when I am away with the Para team. I will once again be recruiting AC's Tosh, Pep or special guest coaches or have a scheduled easy week during that time. For important workouts such as prep sessions for the Transjurassienne and World Masters the AC's will be there directing my plan.
6. General training plan during the fall and winter that shows easy, medium and hard weeks, types of workouts, # of intensity and distance workouts and provides a plan for peaking for your race of choice.
7. Race waxing support for as many events as I am around for including Bow Corridor races and of course free entry into our own Kat Scratch Loppets
8. Extra workouts as needed to peak for the big races plus emails with training and nutrition info and skiing news from around the World.
If you sign up and pay in full by June 30 then $800 is the fee. Otherwise it is $800 plus GST for a total of $840. $420 upon registration with MTG and $420 payable by Dec 15

2. Technique and fitness workout cards

25X workout card  - $300 plus G.S.T. - $315
10X workout card - $150 plus G.S.T. - $157.50
Approx 8 - 10 workouts possible to attend per month. MTG and workout card skiers attend the same workouts!

Skiers choosing the workout card option are also welcome to join the Masters Training Group for local races and loppets and our very own Kat Scratch Loppet series at a fee of one card punch per event. Workout cards valid until end of 2010/2011 ski season. Workout card skiers can also upgrade at any time to MTG at $800 less cost of card purchased plus GST if you find you are attending more workouts than originally planned or want more
