Today at Snowbasin included a tough course set for first run, followed by a nice easy set for second run. We had several J5's try south series "on for size" and they skied very well! The J5's had the toughest first run, and they really straightened out the bottom section for the J4's, and then straightened out one more kink for the boys run. That is ski racing! Every one of our J5 girls made it down the course, that was something to be proud of!
Results are online: http://www.ussa-imd.org/alpine/races11/south.htm. Be sure to note that Zach and AJ both came home with hardware for Brighton! Awesome job, guys! We were able to take video of almost every run this weekend, and it will be loaded onto sprongo.com. If you haven't received an invite, let Han Kim know, and he can hook you up, and you can see your racer. (email him through the "contact us" link on the web page if you would like) Be sure to watch the video, it is important to see how you ski when the pressure is on... racing is always different than training.

Training at Brighton today was fabulous! Great job, coaches! Everyone switched gears and got some great GS training in on a blue sky day.
****************************************************************
The South Series at Snowbasin was a great day! The J3's had Zach and AJ in 4th and 5th place. We worked on our inspection of the course, learning to anticipate when the course changed due to the terrain and course set. The "coaches knoll" provided some challenge and entertainment on the second run, and Owen's butt might be bruised, he says... he needs more padding there. Everyone tried their best, and improvements were made between first and second run, that is all anyone can ask for, and THAT makes an awesome day.
*****************************************************************
Sunday, January 29, 2012 -- Racin' at the 'Basin again! (no training at Brighton)

SNOWBIRD UPDATE!
Today: GREAT racing! We had 2 J5's give slalom a try, and they did great! There was some mix up in results, but once it was straight, we had Zach get second and Ravi get 5th!!! (he may not know this yet, until he reads this, we will get the medal tomorrow). Nick completed his first race EVER with flying colors, and our J4 girls showed they can bang gates with the best of them. Some falls occurred, some spirits crushed momentarily, but thus is the life of a ski racer. It has it's ups and it's downs, luckily we get more ups then downs.
Tomorrow will be a different day due to the weather. Be prepared. Everything will be moved up 15 minutes if possible, but the weather could push things back. First run inspection will be from 9:15 - 9:45, First run for J5's will start at 10:00 am, J4-J3's at 11:00 am.
Second run J5 Inspection 12:30 - 1:00 pm, J4-J3's 12:45 - 1:15 pm. Second run start J5's 1:15 pm, J4-J3's 2:15 pm.
Lyndsey is going to be the REF of the J5 course, so she will be busy watching the race and inspecting the course EARLY.
BIB's for Monday:
Megan Stone - 9
Savannah Dustman/Davenport - 16
Ella Kim - 81
