Speed Camp

Note to all athletes regarding speed camp training. Due to the nature of this training it is recommended that athletes have Speed Skis for this event. In discussions with Richard Lepage Mike, Gregor and I are looking at the following recommendations:

K1 - anything other that Slalom skis for this season
K2 - GS with a minimum turning radius of 21m.
J1-J2 - appropriate SG Skis.

It is recommended that all K2 athletes have SG skis as these are safer due to the set of the course. Please take this into consideration when planning on training. CMRC coaches also firmly believe that athletes that do not train for SG are not prepared to compete in this event.

Also note that this camp is Mon-Wed.
The Thursday is exclusive for those not in the camp. Once again this is a safety consideration and preparing athletes for the speed of SG.

Please contact me with any concerns, we will do our best to find skis that will work for all athletes, ebay, allumni etc are all possibilities to alleviate the large cost out.

Thanks Rien
