Cold temps, snowmaking guns, and hopefully snow itself are all in our near future. Many of us will be looking forward to Craftsbury and Sleepy Hollow providing some of the first early season grooming soon, and there’s a lot to take into account when it comes to the transition away from purely dryland training.
The two articles below are informative reads on the topic. One is from Andy Newell, and the other is from legendary Norwegian coach Erik Braten. The article from Braten is translated from Langrenn.com and parts can be difficult (and/or humorous) to read, but I think the important points are easy enough to understand. I’ve also gone through and highlighted elements specific to MNC and our Juniors.
