1st & 2nd Slalom Days, leaving tomorrow!

HI All,

Sorry, didn't post yesterday, so you'll get double pics today!

Another day of perfect weather and slightly harder snow (i said slightly).

Boys did a great job and there are some good changes happening in slalom.

We'll be back on snow tomorrow and then leaving for Vegas right after.

Might get another post in... we'll see.

All has gone GREAT & the guys have been pretty darn good for a bunch of teenagers (really they've been angels... so far)!


If I don't post tomorrow we'll be back LATE on Wed and I'm sure the boys will fill you in.

thanks
-Mike

Cali 2nd rest day & the previous gs session

Hi All,

As you've probably heard by now our "Classic Thanksgiving Dinner" was less than classic!

Well, the Inn made up for it a little by getting us Pecan Pie for dessert last night, better late than never!

We had a day off today & it was needed by all. We took it super easy & rest was the common theme.

We're back after it in the late morning tomorrow & it'll be slalom for all.

3 more days of training & we're headed back to the Northeast, hopefully winter will beat us back! Below are pics of al of the guys from our last GS session.

talk to you soon,

-Mike

Well, we made it through Thanksgiving with no white stuff here in Ktown, some years just go that way. This month has been great for getting everyone in a good academic direction and who can complain about all the strength, core, agility and flexibility workouts we have recorded to this point. Today, the boys got a great agility and core workout with Nick Johnson, our new trainer from Castleton. He will be here helping all the coaches throughout the year implement their training programs. Great to have you, Nick. The boys have been doing a great job and the added strength will pay off as the season wears on.

Anyway, looks as though those temps we have been looking for might be just around the corner. We will keep you posted.

Cali Day 3

Best weather yet today & the guys took full advantage of it!!!!!!!!!

My group got a ton of runs in both drills and free skiing.
Tom's group ventured into gates, with a little "Turn Shape" in the late morning.

Great progress and good skiing by all!

Pics of my group from today are below.
