If coming to try out for membership to the club, please be ready to ski by 10am. Requirements for the Mat are (minimum) Helmet, long finger gloves, long trousers (sallopettes/water proofs as water is sprayed on the mat) and a long sleeved top/jacket. If you require rental skis, then please bring along the skier's height and weight, in kilos. This will be required to have the skis set properly at the rental desk.
If trialling for the Performance Squad, please be ready to ski by 9am. The intention is to have all skiers complete the Skills Quest in the first session, then move onto the Athletic Capacity Evaluation test (ACE). Please remember sports kit, as well as the required ski kit.
I've already added the links to the Skills Quest and the Ace on the Performance Squad Tab. We will adapt the Skills Quest to the slope, so don't expect me to be making rollers on the mat.
Please take the time to have a look at the links to remind yourself of the ACE test. We will not be using full gates, for the trial, but will be using stubbies to test agility, balance, rotation and edge control. Shinnies would be advisable for racers, but not compulsory.
