Dear CXC Academy past and present members,

We will be starting over with a new training year at the end of April, and hope you can train with us!

Not only is it the end of the ski-season for most, it is also in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and all its attendant confusion.

We hope the training ideas we put forth over the last season stretched everyone’s horizons about training. Positive or negative, your comments and observations are all welcome.

Our coaches are hard at work creating training materials for our members to help keep up agility, strength, and maintain our community engagement.

Note:

We understand there are hardships for everyone right now, and are truly grateful for your support during these uncertain times. Please consider continuing support for CXC Academy project with a subscription.
