Super cold day at Okemo, but some hot racing going on. The young boys stepped up with some good skiing on Okemo's Wardance trail. KMS new JI/II coach Joe Dunn laid down the law on the first run by nearly 2 seconds. However, the cold took it's toll on the coaches feet on the second run and opened the door for Cameron Price to take the win with Mike Ferri in 4th, Marshall Tamsin in 10th and Ben Scheu and Kenny McNeill rounding out the top 15.

Stay warm, next week the boys travel over to Attitash, NH for the Christmas Open GS.

Happy Holidays

Great week of training here at K-town. Super cold and sunny. The younger crew will compete a giant slalom block tomorrow with some race prep timing then head down to our neighbor, Okemo, for a gs start on sunday. I am pleased with the progress I have seen this week with their turn shape so we will see what happens on race day.

Well, all is getting is getting back to normal. The mammoth crew has returned safely and getting back to east coast time and SNOW? The temps are starting to drop and the snow is getting better each day. The men free skied giant slalom today in the am and and got in the gym all before the first kickoff time.
The beginning of this week we will start in slalom mode and hopefully get into some gs later in the week. stay tuned for more updates and keep praying for snow and cold temps.

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
