A Great Night!

When teaching kids to ski, it always surprises me to watch their progression.  Work on a skill, work on a skill, work on a skill, and then BOOM it clicks.

THE SECRET OF SKIING HAS BEEN REVEALED!

Tonight was one of those nights where things were clicking for all of the kids. The weather was perfect, the snow was good and everyone was having their best runs of the season.  Just a ton of fun to watch and be a part of.

Our next session is on Saturday at PowderRidge where we will be having a race in the morning and a practice session in the afternoon.  Saturday's race is an in-house race and is very informal, no race order, no bibs.   The kids should meet at the bell at 9:30 as usual.  The coaches will take the kids out to get in some warm up runs and to inspect the course.  Racing will commence around 10:00 and be finished by 11:30 (very informal).

The race will be held on Single Cedar right in front of the lodge.  Parents can watch the action from the lodge or come out on the hill to get a better view.  We are looking for a few more volunteers to help with timing if anyone would like to join the fun (no experience required).  In addition, having someone to help shoot pictures and/or video would be great (I will bring a video camera).  If you can help out, leave a comment or send me an email.

After the race we will join in on the end of ski school lunch in the lodge.  After lunch we will have an awards ceremony.  The team will meet at the bell at 1:00 for additional training in the afternoon.  Practice will wrap up at 2:30.

   - We will have a short parents meeting in the lodge once the kids are on the hill to explain about the upcoming away races.  We will let you know the logistics and answer any questions you may have about the races.  The races are a great time, I hope that all of the kids can make it.

  1. Thanks to all of you coaches for your hard work and dedication to our children. Without your commitment our kids would not be learning the skills they are learning.
