Cold Weather Protocol for Ski Training
Think it is too cold to ski? Check the Marmot website to see what the temperature is at the hill by 8:30 am. There are often inversions, which means it can be warmer up at the hill than at lower elevations.
If the forecast is for below -20C, start time is automatically pushed to 10:30 a.m.
At 9:30 a.m. if the weather is still too cold for training the HEAD COACH for each division will send an e-mail calling for cancellation for training for that day. If you do NOT receive an e-mail, we are going ahead with training at the later time of 10:30 a.m.
K1 and K2 go up to train, unless otherwise notified. You gotta be tough at the K level
E-mails will come from:
Marek and Brent to inform K1 & K2 racers
Patrice Fortin to inform Nancy Greene Ski League Racers
Mike will inform Fast Track.
