Mt. Sainte Anne, QC in Pictures

Monday will be two SGs. It has been an eventful trip. unfortunately not much racing and a couple canceled days. If we can get the races off tomorrow, it will have been well worth the trip, it's a great opportunity to race some speed which is tough to come by at the FIS level.

Meanwhile, we have gotten in some great powder skiing and a trip to the go-kart track. Here are some of Josh's shots of the week.

Busy racing lately. We are trying to get it all in before it all goes to &^%$. Recently we had a crew in NH for a SG on Wednesday. Kenny and Peter both had good days with a 4th and 9th in the first race respectively and Marshall, throwing down a 18th on the second day.

Up north of the border, the Ste. Anne GS and SG series. Dan made a nice move to score today and end up 28th overall, followed by Cam in 30, Dylan -33, Andrew- 37, and Ben 41. Good moves guys but let's give it some more gas on Monday!

Tomorrow, Killington and Needles hosts a VC GS, stop by and check out some action.

Another day of racing in the winter that Wasn't Vermont. After the rain and ice that came down yesterday you can imagine what kind of surface we had at Suicide 6 today for the VC slalom. Conditions were far from optimal but at least everyone knew it.
The boys stayed focused and fought hard but the first run did take it's toll. But in the end KMS had the first 2 J2's and 1 and 5 overall. Congratulations to Kyle and James. Spencer also had a good first run and skied out on the second.

a look at some action and some podium.

The boys crammed the front page at Proctor on Saturday, taking 8 of the top front page spots. Cam and Kyle went 2 and 4, James and Mike- 5th & 6th, Dan in 9th, AK in 11th, and Wyatt and Peter, scoring races and skied to 12th and 14th respectively.

Julian and Spencer were back to back in 17th and 18th with Kenny and Ben not far behind in 22nd and 23rd. Marshall moved up from the 40's to 33rd and Jeffry and Jack were 46 and 49. Tommy, catching some air over the roll, slowed himself down a bit on slide into 66 while Luke made a good move from 96 to 78.

Happy Martin Luther King day tomorrow. Some guys will head up to Sugarbush while the rest make the trek to the "Loaf"

A short week of training this week as we are still in the middle of our January race block. Wednesday the boys trained some challenging slalom on Lower Skylark and on Thursday GS on Skylark. We had some quality runs before the heavy snow came yesterday. Here is Dan Martin on his good side. Way to get the hip to the ground.
Look forward to seeing that this weekend.

Busy weekend for the KMS Men. Half the group was at Smugglers Notch Vermont, where on sunday Dylan Malone took the victory with Peter Spangler in 9th, Jeffry in 13th and new comer, Luke Gatti in 17th. Nice job, Boys.

The rest of the crew was over in NH at Waterville Valley. The Black and Blue trail smashers hosting 2 Devo FIS SL's. On day 2, older Ferri took hold of 9th place with a strong first run. Followed by Dan Martin in 17th and younger Ferri, James in 19th. Again, the move of the day goes to Wyatt Queirolo for the 110-47 move through the field.

Honorable mention goes to Cam Price, who slalom skiing is really coming into its own but again had some bad luck first run as a gate got caught between his legs and straddled. Hang in there.
And Ben Scheu, who hiked first run, run 2nd to last and was still 35th for the second run. Nice!!

And here is a picture of Kenny in training on saturday wondering if coach DJ can get him into the Dew Tour with this Front Endo Roll. stop by for the full video.

Devo FIS boys @ WV. Nice job today by the young guns! James ended up 7th and Wyatt moved from 114 to 32, very strong move!
Dan found himself in 13 with sharper skis, thanks Josh!!
Kyle, very solid skiing on the top for both runs, two mistakes cost him on the bottom but the aggressiveness was an improvement. Spencer, after a long break came into 45th and Kenny with a strong second run with no hiking came in 80th. Two of those and he can easily move up 20 spots.

Cam, with another 40 bib jump on the first run, found himself in good position for run 2 but tried to straighten out a flush that caught him on the exit. Tomorrow, tomorrow!

Jack, Julian and Ben had trouble first run and were unable to finish. Mike, just out of the flip first run had some issues on the bottom of run two. And Andrew, who will bring his skiing in training to tomorrows race had a straddle in run two.

We are working hard on bringing that training confidence to race day, a hard task but must be done!!

Happy New Year! Back at it today at Ktown. The new year greeted us to some very cold temps today and a naturally injected surface. Just what we like. We ran slalom on Highline which has seen better days as far as snow depth however the surface was world class. The boys skied; not bad, had some fresh legs and maybe the need to revisit some tuning skills if this weather holds on.

The whole crew is looking forward to the upcoming slalom races this weekend.
