A Sample S2S Training Plan - 2026

Finishing is Winning at the S2S, with no specialized or rigorous training plan required! Most participants will enjoy some good skiing throughout the season, then come out and enjoy the S2S as a season finale.

Skiers in the competitive category may be interested in some training guidance. With thanks to  Silver Hares Nordic, we are pleased to give you access to a training plan that’s primarily for competitive Masters athletes. The plan was developed by Kate Ellis, a lifetime Nordic skier, coach, racer, and all-round enthusiast!

A few notes to keep in mind:

·       The training plan was developed for a specific group. The Silver Hares are “a group of Nordic skiers who enjoy skiing at Silver Star” – mostly Masters skiers and with a range of skills and interests.

·   The training plan is in a calendar view. In that view, there are tabs for Explanation and Terms, and Heart Rate/ Intensity Levels.

Check it out! Thanks again to the Silver Hares, and all the best with your preparation for the S2S!
