Thanks to Mike Heximer for taking care of all the rifles.
I had my hands full, waxing all the skis every night.
Probably waxed 150+ pairs of skis the weekend.
Doing a wax protocol was the best choice for an event like this.
Every athlete was on the exact same wax.

I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

Got everyone through the range before the fog closed us down
Great shooting by all.

Just thought I'd share this one by Jim Galanes

“Pitfalls of Junior Athlete Training: A Case Study in Overload and Misguided Intensity” — a must-read article by Jim Galanes that dives into where youth training can go off the rails.

Jim Galanes dives into what really goes wrong when young skiers train too hard, too soon.

Too much intensity? Not enough recovery? Sound familiar?

This case study breaks down the common mistakes in junior training — and how to fix them for long-term success.

Share this with youth coaches, ski clubs, or athletes you know. Let’s raise the standard for how we train our juniors — with sustainability, longevity, and health in mind.
