Windblown! 1st On-Snow Practice

12 CSU juniors and 4 coaches met at Windblown today under blue skies for a classic workout in the morning and a skate workout in the afternoon after a relaxing lunch period where most of the kids even pulled out their homework.    As you can see from the photos, the weather was very nice, although pretty windy.  Windblown is in very good shape given the amount of snow.  The classic was excellent as was the skating.  I even skated on race skis.  In the morning we toured all around and finished up with a number of no pole drills.  The afternoon skate consisted of a good warmup ski followed by skate drills in the field.  Lots of smiling faces!  It was, however, not wise to venture off the groomed trail given the crust, as Rion discovered.

Other familiar faces out there included Wes Denering, Robert Faltus, Dave Currie and Aims Coney.

Nice face!
