1. Get out and Ski!

2. Train smart - Save the speedy skiing for the races and keep the distance skiing easy (especially if you are coming from sea level!)

3. Rest well

4. Keep moving in the tracks.

5. Go with the flow - It really helps minimize chaos if you go in the correct direction on the trail. It is impossible to always go forward if you are doing technique drills, speeds or video but when going the wrong way try to stay to the side.

6. Ski with your head up!  - There are TONS of skiers out on the trails (which is awesome) but it is super important to always be looking around for waxers using speed traps, people doing intervals, and people going back and forth doing video, drills or speeds.

7. Hit the Expo - The expo is an awesome opportunity to meet new skiers, catch up with friends, and check out all the latest gear!

8. Wash your hands – especially after the expo!

9. Watch or compete in the races – The races begin on Wednesday with a classic spring prelim, Friday is a 10/15k skate and Saturday wraps it up with a 5/10k classic.

10. Hit Wild West Pizzeria  - and try to finish a calzone!
