Congratulations Jared Colletti

USSA VT State EQS Slopestyle CHAMPION!!!

At USSA EQS Central Regional Championships on Saturday 3/6 at Killington, Jared Colletti (10 years old, an M5) took first place, beating out a field of skiers 4+ years older than he.  To add an exclamation point, he nabbed 3rd in Aerials with a stomped 900!!!

Also laying down some impressive runs at the Championship events were Jace Provance, Sam Pawlak, and James Maguire.

CONGRATULATIONS to Sam Pawlak for his 8th place finish on Sunday’s USSA VT State EQS Mogul Championship Event.

Also stomping their runs at the Championship event were Maggie Bonnet, Mark Preschern, Kyle Kaufman, and Patrick Craig.  Here is some footage of the event…

Important things on the horizon…

• End of Season Awards Ceremony — Saturday, 3/27… details TBA
• End of Season Team Party — tentatively scheduled for 3/20… details TBA as well.
• Final day of TEAM training for the season — 3/28.

B TEAM and FRESH STARTERS ‘on the come up’…

Today is the last day to sign up for Whaleback B moguls HERE.  AGAIN, we are going Saturday 3/13 because they changed the sched to include only ONE day of competition.  Skiers should meet coaches at Whaleback in the lodge at 7:30 AM on Sat.  Whaleback is off of the Enfield exit on 89 in NH.

Hi All,

GREAT day at Middlebury this past Sunday!  Awesome job by the kids and, wow, was the weather ever beautiful!

I will send a race re-cap later this week, as well as Pico Sunburst Open information.  On that topic – last chance for sending me entries for the Sunburst Open.  Also, if you have decided that your child can’t make it and you already told me to register them, please let me know so that I can pull them from the race.

Hello All,

READ CAREFULLY AND ALL THE WAY DOWN…lots of info:)!
(more…)

Hello All,

Sorry to not have gotten back to you sooner, but I have been waiting on info pertaining to hill space. 

Here is the plan for tomorrow:

We will meet at 8:30 am at the top of the AB and we will ski a LONG morning session until about 12 pm.  Fingers crossed, we will  free ski for a while and then be training GS on Heaven’s Gate from about 10 til noon.  Therefore, please stuff a few granola bars in your kids pockets.  Your kids will be done around for the day.  This will give us the best skiing conditions (with the warm weather the snow has gotten very soft in the afternoon) and will allow those going to Middlebury in the morning a restful afternoon or the cahnce to get up there earlier if you are staying up there Saturday night.

Sunday:

Okemo 1: Plan for Middlebury still stands as is…

Okemo 2:  We will go with the 8:30-10 am; 11am-1/1:30pm schedule.  Meet at the AB at 8:30am.  Meet at the yurt at 11 am.

Thanks for being flexible!

Mariel
