Larch Hills Junior Ski Team Intramural Program

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lack of any competition for the Larch Hills Junior Ski Team, a few coaches hatched a plan to create an intramural program. The team is already divided into five categories - U10, U12, U14, U16-18+ and Development. From those groups, intramural "teams" were made consisting of skiers from all age categories, although those teams never get together physically due to Covid restrictions and protocols. Skiers got to know their teammates online through an assigned team captain.

Special intramural events run every other Saturday with each age group's coaches taking a turn to plan something different. There are small prizes or medals given to skiers at the end of some of the events. The intramural events include; the Candy Cane Dash (classic time trial), ski orienteering, a loppet, an Enduro style downhill, a skiathlon and sprint races.

So far this has been a very fun program for the Larch Hills Junior Ski team. The coaches have done an amazing job of creating a fun, friendly competitive atmosphere despite the restrictions this season!
