Nordic Ski Team

2nd Time Trial
January 9, 2021

Courtesy of VHS Coaches – The Valdez High School Nordic Ski Team had their 2nd time trial of the season last weekend. The Buccaneers competed in a 4.7K Skate technique race. After a tough two weeks of Skate practice and learning new and challenging techniques the Bucs were ready! There was awesome improvement from the team not only in time dropped but confidence on the course. Great conditions and a perfect groom allowed for our skiers to really go for it and leave it all on the course.

This time trial was the same distance and course as the classic technique time trial the Bucs raced in December. Having now completed a race in each technique we have a good baseline to continue to improve. Our goal is to continue to increase our distance and endurance through our January time trials. Next weekend the Buccaneer ski team will compete in its first relay time trial of the season. A two person relay where each teammate skis a 3K lap three times totaling 9 kilometers of skiing. On to the next challenge!

Way to go Buccaneer skiers!
