Attitash GS's

Well everyone is home and looking forward to having the day off after a productive trip to Attitash for the first FIS devo series of the year. In the first GS we continued the trend of great skiing and positive results.

Jake scored his best result to date finishing 8th with a 72 point result. Dylan had a great result in 12th with a 76. Cam was 30th with an 89, Kip was 36th. Spencer had another great day moving up from 112th to 57th, starting the year off with a 114 point result. Dan Scherding was 87th on the day. Unfortunately Dan Martin had some trouble passing the Slalom start and lost a ski in the first run. Kyle and Ben Scheu also had some trouble and were un able to make it down in the second run.

Yesterday in the second GS the boys continued to ski well. Jake was on track for another great day but took a slight detour in the first run and had to nordic ski a little to get back in the track. Dylan lead the pack today in 13th place with another career best result, scoring a 69. Cam stepped it up today and cut his bib in half to finish 20th. He also scored his best GS result to date with a 77. Kyle had some better luck today, moving up to 37th from bib 121. Dan Martin was close behind in 41st less than .3 behind kyle. Mike Ferri was next in 48th, scoring a 100 that will be a good match for the 93 he scored last week in Alaska. Ben moved up today into 65th, followed by Dan Scherding in 66th. Spencer was right behind them in 69th.

The GS races at Attitash proved to be a great opportunity for these guys to score some great results before the close of the December FIS list. Everyone was able to score great results and set themselves up for much better start positions in the next round of FIS races. Luckily we have some downtime coming up so the boys have time to recharge their batteries and get psyched for some training and a lot more racing. I will try to get back later today and post a few pictures from the GS's.
And as an aside Coach Greg Hardey won the Fore runner race yesterday afternoon. In all borrowed equipment he took down Paul Epstein (a highly reguarded former racer and coach from GMVS) by .15.
Happy Holidays and see you all back after Break.
