Cross Country Skiing 2013

Through the month of February, 9SV went cross country skiing a total of three times on Cypress mountain. Once on the mountain, the group was split into two levels of skill: higher and lower level. The higher level group went on more challenging parts of the mountain while the lower level group stuck to the more flat and easygoing parts of the mountain. Both levels of skill focused on skill development and re-enforcement.

I myself mostly re-enforced what I already knew, but one skill that I was in the process of learning was stopping with parallel skis, as opposed to the snowplow way of stopping. I had a lot of fun skiing with my friends and classmates, and it was made better by the great weather that we experienced for two of the three sessions.
