Groms Freestyle Training this Saturday
Winter is here and we are looking to get a head-start on our freestyle riders training as we have some terrain park features set up already! Coach Steve Morrison worked with our Provincial Team riders last season, and he is available to coach for the day this Saturday, starting on snow at 9:30am to Noon and then from 12:45 to 3:00pm. We already have a couple riders that have signed up for Saturday and we are looking for a few more. We will bill this training day as a typical Friday Training day, or you can use one of your Friday Training pre-paid days towards the day.
Please respond by email to Tyler King (Tking@alpineskiclub.com) if your rider wants to take advantage of this pre-season training or if you have any questions.
Happy Holidays and see you soon!
