Dry Land Time Trials Promise a Great Season On Snow


Alice, Sarah, and Kirsten do a cool down as the sun sets on Petersburg Pass.

The last of five fitness tests ended yesterday, with a steep run/climb from the base of Hopkins Forest up to the Taconic crest and the top of Petersburg Pass. Records were shattered and nearly everyone improved their time from last year. As Coach Fisher reported:

We had 6 men and 7 women (including Aubrey and Katie) faster than last
years Winning time. Of the the 7 other team members who had previous times
5 improved these times, some by considerable margins. What does this tell us? We are fit, summer training, intensity blocks and general persistence in sticking to a plan does pay dividends!

Congratulations to all of you, you'll soon get to use this fitness skiing
behind the new groomer!

Last week, the skate time trial up Petersburg Pass was similiar huge success, more shattered records and a majority of the skiers achieving personal best times.

On this chilly morning Atay sets the time to beat, as he time trials alone.

Caleb shows superior speed on his way to the summit

Keith skis up one of the steepest passes on his way to a new PR and the 3rd fastest time of the trial

Kirsten, Alice, and Holly rock the cow in the lead pack of the women's trial.
