So come on by and have a great time with us!
Hey all, this is the final weekend. Can you believe it has gone by so fast?

Saturday 3/13 is our final Hopeful race and meeting for the season. We are scheduled to race on the NASTAR course at 10 am. We’ll meet in front of the Sugar House at 9 am, inspect, and begin racing at 10 am. Awards, results, and a pizza party will take place at 12:15 at the yurt at the base of the Black Ridge Chair.
We have really enjoyed skiing with the kids this winter and it has been great to see so much improvement and everyone’s dedication to being on the mountain every weekend. Thanks!!! See you on Saturday.
Below are the preliminary results of our riders based on the USASA rankings so far. The official list will not be available until the 15th. This is merely to give you a heads up on your present standing. We need to know who will need accommodations with us and who will be signing up for our coaching. The more of you who participate, the less expensive it is for all.
For those of you who are on the edge of making it, just wait for the second round, which is 48 hours from the initial release. The second round of emails will go out on the 17th and you will have 48 hours to respond to that.
Again, please let us know your intentions as soon as is possible so we can begin making arrangements for the coaches.
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.
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…
Below is an edit from OMS ‘10 Freerider Dale Talkington… for those of you who have not seen it yet, it is an entry in a contest in which the video with the most YouTube views by the end of the week wins $1,000… so watch it until your eyes fall out and let’s help Dale take this one down!!
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.
Carpooling can be coordinated using the COMMENTS feature below.
Thanks, TEAM, and have a great week!

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.
