Last weekend was a chance to refocus our efforts on some of the important skills we need to ski and race well. While we regularly work on balance, body position and edges, we took the time to develop some turn shape with our skiers. Every athlete has shown a great deal of progress in learning to trust their edges and commit to the turn. We took the team to East Meadow for some tighter turns and the kids really came through. This Saturday we’ll set a course that lets the skiers apply those lessons in a race setting. Can’t wait!
Next week is the February vacation week and Lyndsay, Lily and I will be around all week. I hope as many of you as possible will join us for what will undoubtedly be a fun week and our best opportunity to prepare for the next Pabst race at the end of the month.
Now, if you folks from NJ, NY and CT could bring some of that snowy weather up north with you……
