Tuesday Evening Training
Effective immediately, in conjunction with the team at Snowplanet, we’ve made the decision to move our Wednesday evening training sessions to within Snowplanet’s late Wednesday evening race training session (see details below)
This decision was made due to the viability of renting a lane on Tuesday evenings, as well as the slope capacity considerations as visitation beings to increase as winter gets closer.
