Coaches’ Corner

Hello Ski Racing Fans,

This past week we again had some fantastic conditions for training and racing. With many of our teams in action, I would like to highlight that another one of our U12 athletes won the U12 Wengen Bracket GS at Beaver Valley. Congratulations Helena Poetker!

Although we do not have any of our teams off property this weekend, we do have some great in-house races. Sunday we will have a U8/U10 Paneled Slalom on Kent in the morning. Please also remember to sign up in the Programs Office for the Family Day GS Fun Race on Challenge on Monday Feb. 17.

Please have a look at our Off-Season Camp Options below and reach out to Head Coach Chris Daniels if you have any questions about any of our Summer or Fall camps.

Lastly, stay tuned for upcoming Parent Meetings regarding U12 All-Inclusive and OCup Programs for next season.
