January 28 & 29th

Admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:46:47 +0000

Hope this posting find everyone well and ready to move into the second half of the season. The Bromley crew has continued to do a great job of providing us a terrific playground, despite mother nature’s evil efforts. Most of our athletes will be around this weekend(due to postponed events) to enjoy some training before the crazy schedule’s of February and March kick in. Also, we are planning a BBQ for Saturday(28th) and would welcome any assistance and/or donations to help offset the cost/efforts of providing this wonderful fare for our members and staff.

This weekend’s events include an exciting boarder/skier cross competition on the Plaza hill for Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday afternoon we will be hosting the second Pabst race of the year on the East Meadow. These events are always fun and are great opportunity to work off your volunteer commitments.

We would like to remind everyone that our biggest fundraiser of the year is also approaching, Febfest. We are always looking for help in gathering outstanding auction items, please help our club by seeking out items from your business and personnel contacts. Let’s us know what you come up with.

J3 1/27-1/29

If you haven’t heard the GS race at Mount Snow has been postponed. That being said we will be training GS Friday for two sessions. Saturday we would like to kids bring both GS and SL skis. We are going to run a panel SL to quicken the kids up. This is a very good drill for the kids GS. Of course we will also be training GS on Saturday as well. Sunday will be a full day of GS!!

As far as the Mount Snow race it has been rescheduled for Sunday Feb 5th. Which is between the Super G camp and the Super G race that Monday. I hope all that plan to race Super G have skis lined up. It will be a very busy week and we don’t need to be running around looking for skis last minute. Kids that are racing in the Super G 2/6 have to attend the Super G camp 2/4. Not to worry that there is a GS race in between, Mount Snow is a very easy GS and this weekend we will have them prepared for it.

We are having another one of our world class BBQ’s this weekend. Keep in mind there are no “free lunches”, please contribute to the jar so we can continue to do it! Thank you….Stephan

Volunteers needed!

Admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:16:16 +0000

We have a master race tomorrow, which should go pretty quick and snowboard race next weekend. And we are looking for help with our biggest fundraising event of the year…FEBFEST! More details to follow.

J3 13th-16th

j3 — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:19:19 +0000

Great weekend this past weekend. We were very happy on how the kids performed, even with first race gritters and home mountain pressure. Most kids got at least one solid run down the hill. Their hard work is really starting to show!!

As you may have seen on the news or looked out your window we are actually getting the white stuff!!! So things like they have been this winter are up in the air. Friday we will be able to run GS in the afternoon on the Meadow. Korpi will be around Friday morning for anyone that can make it for some GS free skiing. Saturday and Sunday we will be training GS in the afternoon sessions and lite free skiing and drills in the morning sessions.

Monday the 16th we have our first GS race at Stratton. Same procedure as the Bromley SL. Booted up and registered by 8:30.. The snow has been very hard over there and we expect even with the snow we are getting we will be getting down to the hard stuff. So sharp skis are a must!!!

As always if there are any questions email or call Korpi

BOC Clubhouse

Admin — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:42:11 +0000

Thanks for all the great efforts on the hill this last holiday break, We do understand it was not the best of hill conditions, but we used the limited conditions to our benefit. The coming weekend should offer a wider terrain selection. We will be host a number of events this weekend, so please if you can lend a hand do so.

At this time, I would also like to mention a growing concern we have with the our clubhouse. During the holiday week our clubhouse was way too messy. Plastic bags, half eaten nachos, french fries and a lot of other garbage all over the place. In plain it, was treated without any respect. I was also made aware of some of athletes not treating each other with mutual respect. Both of these situations are entirely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Please talk with your athlete/child about this situation, we(coaches/staff) can not be downstairs at all times to monitor the athletes behavior and cleanliness. The only alternative would be to close the clubhouse to all but ski storage, something none of us want to do. Thanks for your help in straightening out our situations.

J3 RACE WEEKEND!!!!

j3 — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:40:23 +0000

This Friday there will be a race for the older athletes on East Meadow. But for anyone one that can make it we will have SL training on a different trail. Korpi will be at the mountain all day Friday so if you are coming he will be ready to go when the lifts turn at 9.

As for Saturday there is another race on the Meadow. WE WILL TRAIN THAT DAY ON THE MEADOW, that afternoon when the race is complete. We will probably have a lite morning of free skiing and video, so not to get the kids tired before Sundays race!!! But please be prepared for a longer day Saturday. We will set a very similar course Saturday afternoon as the first run of Sundays race; so full attendance will be very beneficial!!!

As for Sundays race please have the kids ready to be on the lift at 8:30 for inspection! That means have them registered and ready to go. Parents this year at the Bromley races you must sign a waiver for the athletes at registration!!!!

Good luck, and see you all this weekend!!

J3: 28th-31st

j3 — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:18:49 +0000

We know things have been up in the air around here with the lack of snow. Tomorrow the 28th we will be loading the lift at 7:30 again for another early morning SL training session. Again we will break at 9:30 for an hour and then free ski from 10:30 -1:30. We will be running this early morning program through the 31st. Hopefully for a morning or two we will be able to get out on our GS skis for some monitored free skiing. Of course I will keep you all informed.

Willard it has been postponed. NO RACE! No big deal just means more time to train, which at this point would be a good thing.

J3:Christmas weekend

j3 — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:54:52 +0000

J3’s

Christmas weekend

Again good job this past weekend, we really enjoy the effort everyone is putting into the drills and their free skiing. Not quite sure when everyone on is coming up but, I will be at the BOC over the entire holiday season. That includes Christmas day; Korpi will take anyone one out that wants to free ski and maybe work on some drills. On the 24^th we will continue to work on drills and free skiing on our SL skis. Hopefully we will be able to shoot some good video and upload it without freezing the cam. Happy holidays everyone!!!

Dec 17th and 18th

j3 — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:20:31 +0000

Hello everyone! For this upcoming weekend we will be skiing on SL skis. We will be starting on our fundamentals, which involves a progression of drills. We will be videoing a lot of stuff this weekend and posting it on the video website. Please send me the kids email so I can register them for the site. They should receive a confirmation email from sprongo.com. Make sure they accept it!!

Also as noted in the email sent out we need to start looking for Super G skis. It is early but there are limited number of SG skis for J3′s at the club.

Also note that there will be limited terrain this weekend so we need to be on our best behavior!

There is a Club meeting Sunday starting at 11am in the Boar. Dr Gammon will be give us a presentation on concussions covering the facts and misconceptions regarding this injury. His presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. I have had long conversations with him and I guarantee you will find the information fascinating Following Dr Gammon’s presentation Tom Zieglar, “HILL BOSS” will discuss the various opportunities for volunteerism. We will conclude with a group break out meeting with your coach to cover expectations for the upcoming season. Topics will include equipment requirements, race schedules, training progression and communication. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ATTEND THIS MEETING!!!!……thanks and THINK SNOW Stephan
