Getting The Year Off on the Right Foot

By Geoffrey Richards

New Year.  New Team.  With only four of us currently living in Whistler we've had some excellent time to do technique work and some good one-on-one time with Coaches Chris and Graham.

We started the new season with two days of skiing before heading to Hornby Island for a Team Cohesion camp with our new psychologist Shannon Thompson.

Martin Schrama's Hornby Update

On Monday at some ridiculously early time we crammed ourselves in the team van and headed to Hornby Island for a short team bonding trip.

Martin Schrama Launches a Blog!

So I have finally started to write a blog. With all the blogs I have read I've noticed that mostly I just look at the pictures and don't read the long dreary paragraphs, so I promise to keep it full of pictures and videos, but I may include some words.

Skis for Every Bag

By: Graham Maclean

What are the most important skis for every ski bag?  We asked Wax and Ski Guru, Graham Maclean and he recommended that each aspiring ski racer (or serious recreational skier) have at least one pair of each:
- Universal skate ski (works in the cold, can add hand structure for warm conditions)
- Klister classic skis
- Cold hard wax classic skis
- Hairies (or rub) skis

... and don't forget rock skis for early or late season training - one pair each for classic and skate.

What does a Coach Look For?

What does CVTC Coach Chris Manhard look for in an athlete?  Here are his top-5 attributes, in no particular order:

* Dedication
* Mental Toughness
* Physical Talent
* Personality (ability to be serious during training but also relax and laugh at the right times)
* Trust (in the program and progress)
