Training Camp information

Hello everyone, here is the information for the weekend camp up at Sky High Ranch on Saturday and Sunday.

We can all meet in the Ski Chalet parking lot at 11 am. We can organize rides to Sky High by ensuring we fill each car going up.

11:30 am: drop our gear at the main lodge then leave for a hike on the Sky High trail then up on Starbucks trail to the top of the Ridge and then back to the Sky High ranch. This will be a mix run/hike and should take about 3:30 including a short stop for lunch. Make sure you pack a small day pack with water, a lunch, some snacks and spare clothes. You will be fine using running shoes as there is little snow up there. After our return, we will have individual athlete meeting. Please bring your goals for the winter as we will review them individually.

5:30  pm: After the meetings, we will get supper ready then we will have social games after dinner.

Sunday morning: Have breakfast then go for a hike up toward Bonneville Lake. We will go for about a 3:00 hike. Again, running shoes should be fine. We will leave after the hike to come back down to the Ski Chalet for a late lunch at home. Pick up at the Ski Chalet around 1pm. Don't forget it is time change this weekend (fall back).

Packing list:

small day pack with a water bottle
hiking clothes including a wind breaker, mitts, hat, buff, dry clothes and running shoes, extra socks
leisure indoor clothes, including a warm fleece and footwear
lunch for Saturday's hike and snacks for both hikes
your goals for the goal setting meeting with coaches
sleeping bag, pillow and mattress pads for the males as we will stay in the large Yurt
all the females will stay in the Lodge so all you need is a sleeping bag and pillow
