Now its the skiers turn... <p> Ski conditioning starts October 4th and is also an 8-week cycle. <p> Pretesting will be the week of September 27. Testing will be done during regular training sessions. It will take the full hour to complete. Ideally we do all testing on Wednesday Sept 29 and Thursday Sept 30. Testing is not mandatory to participate in the program - it is really just to establish a baseline for the training.
