Nikolai Anikin and his staff of Gitchi Gummi Sports Association staff have
set up a special training camp that will allow skiers time to participate
in the Seeley Hills Classic race. The camp will take place at Telemark
Resort near Cable, Wisconsin January 19 - 21.
Anikin's Thanksgiving weekend camp prompted Ashland skier Paul Haltvick to
comment, "I went for all three days and it was great. Thought I was going
to just brush up on my technique, but Nikolai, Will, Andy and Mike found
all kinds of problems for me to work on. Nikolai is quite the character
besides. Well worth the money."
On Friday, January 19 Anikin will focus on classic skiing technique and
waxing. On Saturday and Sunday freestyle will be covered with an emphasis
on tuning up for the American Birkebeiner race. There will be a break in
the program Saturday morning and early afternoon so the staff and camp
attendies can enter the Seeley Hills Classic 22 or 42 kilometer race which
starts at 10 am at the Birkie Trail Double O rest cabin. Freestyle coaching
will begin mid-afternoon on Saturday and run until early afternoon on
Sunday.
Skiers can sign up for both sessions or just choose classic or freestyle.
