Winter Break - Part 1

Ashley, Kelsey, JD, Kerstin, Kevin, Ian, and Shannon

Old man winter has finally come through with enough cold weather and natural snow to get the season going for the SMC alpine team. The team is starting 2012 off with a great block of training. Everyone is working hard and having fun. It is shaping up to be a great season!

Ian and Beers go 1-2 at the VARA SL at Smuggs

We have had a solid week of training. Monday and Tuesday we could be found tearing up the slopes at Smuggler's Notch with two sessions of slalom each day. Wednesday we slept in and had a great afternoon of slalom at Cochran's. Thursday and Friday the team got some great GS training at Stowe. Everyone is making improvements each day and there is a positive attitude on the hill. We are prepared and excited to show some speed in competition. Today the team is racing a Vermont Cup slalom at Smuggs. Good luck to all the racers!

After today's race, the team will have a day off on Sunday. Monday we will train in the morning and travel to the eastern cup series (2 SL, 2 GS) in the afternoon. The men will be racing at Whiteface in Lake Placid, NY and the women at Stratton, VT. Keep up the good work!
