Here are some more good slalom pictures.

Well timing is everything! The snow did come and we perfectly placed our day off. We will go one more slalom session on Friday morning then pack, clean, have lunch and depart to the airport for our flight.

The staff is psyched with the progress at this project. As I said before, we have been hammering the basics; body position, balanced stance, pole plant, ankle engagement and there is a whole lot of good stuff going on. Some guys are even starting to use that pole plant in slalom. Nice Job, Boys!

I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

we had another good day of slalom yesterday on LaPolma and we're trying for one more before the forecasted big snow. Our slalom is coming along. Just as we planned that working on our fundamental work in gs would cross over in both the longer and shorter turn.

Rhonda made some mean burritos last night for dinner and all is well.

A few slalom shots with Dylan having the fastest run of the day.

More slalom shots from Monday.

First day of slalom yesterday since April and it was not bad. We were scheduled on a tough hill, Los Flores, hard snow and a bit of a side hill. The kids did a great job. A little tamer venue in LaPolma today and maybe some snow showers. We are feeling very lucky with what we have accomplished to this point with the pending storm coming in.

Being out on the hill early does have its advantages!

More gs on Nevada!

Some good gs skiing from our last session.

Day off fun at the beach in Vino Del Mar!

Here are some other good sg photos. We are back on today after a trip Vino Del Mar and one of the nicer open air markets in Chile.
Training gs today with some slalom freeskiing in the afternoon. This weekend is busy at LaParva so we are trying to get done what we need then remaining low key.

Hope to have more photos tomorrow am.

The snow was firm this morning for our last day of sg and gs for this block. The guys have rose to the challenge for the good speed training and some tough gs. Many improvements are visable on video.
Tomorrow we will head to the coast for the day and a day at sea level, which should recharge the batteries for our last block of training.

Photos will be available in the morning.

pictures still coming!

one more sg shot from the morning. Then we had a couple days of tough gs training for one of the groups that was ready on Quesdada. Here's a look at the trail and some footage.

We are coming to the end of our sg block today. It's been great training and good for the boys to get some speed training under their belts. Here are some shots from yesterday up on Barros.

glad we could get some shots up this morning. We are heading out for a early am sg session followed by some gs. It should be a good day. Here's a few more sg pics from yesterday, Aug 9th.
