Hey all,
I hope that everyone is stoked for President’s Week! We will have 7 straight days of solid training including 3 USASA events (Slalom, GS, and Slopestyle) in the latter part of next week. We also have our annual Febfest to kick things off on Saturday which is always a blast and I encourage all parents/athletes to come.
Mountain/Park update: It has snowed 4″+ at the mountain and the hill is in excellent condition. The weekend weather is expected to be mild with temps in the 20’s and the long-term forecast looks as though we’ll receive snow periodically throughout the week which always welcomed. The parks are currently in good shape and tomorrow we will be reshaping all takeoffs, the wallride, and landings in all 3 parks and will build 1-2 new jumps in Bonanza as well. The parks should be in tip top shape for this weekend.
Febfest
As I am sure most of you know, our annual BOC Febfest is this Saturday and is a super fun event. It all kicks off at 7pm with the torchlight parade. I suggest that any parents/athletes who plan on participating in the torchlight are set and ready to go @ 6:30pm to guarantee a torch and spot in the parade. If we could also get all BOC snowboarders to come dressed in proper attire (iride hoodies) that would be great as well.

**If anyone has not pre-registered for next week’s USASA events, please do so to guarantee your spot in the event. If need be, registration form is attached.
Also, several athletes have inquired about the new iride mountain stickers and there will be more available this weekend in addition to some mini stickers (for bindings, goggles, notebooks, etc…) as well. If anyone has any questions regarding next week’s schedule or anything else, please feel free to shoot me an email.
