Alright, you are looking at this stuff... I'll get some more pictures up during our short break. As for the anonymous comment on "LOL"... I know who you are... and we'll see who gets the last laugh!
State Super-G is postponed until Tuesday the 17th
Due to some bad weather coming in on Monday, Sugarbush has postponed the SG... again. Hopefully this time it will happen. Monday will be off for everyone and then Wednesday is off as well. We get back into training on Thursday. We will be training SL on Highline Thursday afternoon. The vans going to Sugarbush for the State SG will leave at 6:00 am on Tuesday the 19th. On days off you should not be skiing!! Relax, ride a bike, get on a swiss ball for balance. Active rest is what you guys need right now, not on snow time. Get some homework done, maybe even get ahead because a lot of you will be going on the road for a while. Give a call if you have any questions. 1-802-746-8087. Thats a home # so don't call too late... or else!!!
The J1 boys raced today in the State GS at Middlebury. Chad Hedlund squeezed into 13th position, Pete Calhoun finished 24, Tim Spangler 29 and Pat Sinnott was 39th. They all skied hard and deserve a day off. Stay tuned for more action to come!!!

Okemo FIS Super-G races
Today was another cold one at Okemo! The boys did pretty well. Danny Moore moved up 20 spots from his start position in both races. Kris Hopkins walked away with a win for the J2 age class and earned himself an Iron Wolf sticker for his helmet. Good job Hoppy!! Highlight of the day was for sure; the tenacity of Tyler Flinn. In the first race he went down on his hip and through a fence. He was trapped only for a moment between the two layered section of fence. He never lost sight of the finish line. He quickly crawled out from under the fence... with his skis still on. He asked the gate keeper if he could continue. Both the gate keeper and the chief of course yelled out yeah go for it. Tyler had not missed a gate so he was allowed to continue. This is not really standard operating protocol for a speed event, but none the less it is completely legal. Good fight Tyler, way to go. You showed that fence who was boss! In the second race Tyler shaved 50 seconds of his first run time... If there was an award for most improved... hands down Tyler would get it.
Tomorrow we will plan to leave school just after lunch for those traveling to Whiteface for the FIS development GS races. For those not going; follow schedule that is posted on the board outside the coaches office.

State Slalom Champs @ Suicide six
Chad Hedlund 1st. He's the one on the end... not the one in the pink though.
February Break
Well we had another Super-g postponed today, the FIS race at Okemo. The race organizers are confident they can get two races in tomorrow so hopefully we will not loose a race.
Our February break has been cut into because of the State super-g being rescheduled. It is now scheduled for Monday the 18th... right in the middle of our projected break time. So we are going to have training through Sunday. J1's will race on the 17th at Middlebury and the J2's will most likely train on Sunday. The plan now is to still take a break but cut it down to just Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Training will start up again on Thursday the 21st. We will keep you posted on the day to day changes and announcements. Sorry for the lull in blog postings, it has been a long hard charge at the races lately. Yeah and whats the deal, nobody ever leaves comments for us on the blog... whats up are you guys reading this stuff? We do like to hear from the parents! lol. Tomorrow the van for Okemo leaves at 7 am and training here at Killington starts after adviser meetings. No morning sport and guys not going to Okemo are going to train GS.

Update on the J1-J2 State Super-G at Sugarbush. The state Super-G that was resceduled for this Sunday 2-11 has been postponed again to Monday 2-18.
Today the J2s had a interesting day at the state GS at Burke. We got off to a good start at 5:30am with only one person forgeting his boots, a road block in Woodstock, and me confusing washer fluid for brake fluid... Then I got my coffee. We get to Burke and push a ton of snow off the track and get going. It was a great race and it ran well. The course was soft and rough for the guys, but they toughed it out and most put two together. With all said and done, we got away with 3 in the top 15 and two broken thumbs. While the J2s were at Burke the J1s had some prep training at Suicide 6 for the State SL that will be held there tomorrow.
