TR1 / JD Year Plan & misc equipment recommendations

October 26, 2014 Posted by Ross

Here are the key points from Adam’s talk last night concerning event attendance / race planning:

Here are the recommended races for the JD / TR 1 age groups:

  • The early December Okanagan Cup at Sovereign lake is cancelled.
  • Rossland Dec 13&14 (Friday and Saturday accommodations).
    (Tom Walker: walkerttfn@gmail.com will need numbers to confirm a hotel booking.)
  • Salmon Arm Dec 27&28 (stay only the Saturday night) Optional race due to holidays.
  • Telemark Apple Loppet Jan 11
  • Revelstoke Jan 24&25 (Friday and Saturday accommodations)
  • Pentiction Ok Cup Jan 31-Feb1
  • Telemark BC champs Feb20-22
  • Midgets for those eligible
  • Either PG or the Westerns for the older TR1’s (Westerns would be the best of the two)
 Here are some recommendations for equipment that weren’t covered:
  • XC mitts or lobsters as well as gloves with insulation are the best bet.  Big bulky gloves and mitts don’t fit into xc ski poles well.
  • Merino wools socks are the best.  They keep the toes toasty even when wet.
  • Toe warmers that stick to the top of toes and hand warmers are great for cold days.
  • Buffs are a good idea. They work great as a neck warmer or face protection for snowy cold days.
  • Glasses with a shade / clear lens are great for eye protection and snow storms.
  • Headlamps with a top band and head band are the best for night skiing.  A headlamp is required for night skiing.
  • Avoid the Salomon junior skate binding.  These bindings ice up and too often have resulted in skis releasing during races.
  • Waffle type polypro long underwear.  It stays warmer than the plain fabric long underwear
