Thanks to Wilmot DH families!

Outstanding volunteer work over the weekend! I have heard from multiple teams that we stepped up and were noticed.

This was the first time a WIJARA race was held at a non-member team resort. It was so great to see so many willing Wilmot volunteers as I skated to the lift just after 6am each morning before sunrise. You all knocked it out of the park – thanks again – we have a special group!

Oh, and the kids showed some nice results as well as we sit 3rd on the season standings with one race weekend remaining.

The most common question coaches get. Is of course, what does my racer need to do to improve results, and the obvious answer is always – come to practice!

Tuesday, 2/7, we will run SL with an emphasis on combinations – flushes and hairpins. Coach Steve will send out more details and perhaps more of his great videos, but we noticed some work needs to be done: in the flush where stance needs to narrow and upper body movements need to quiet.

In the hairpins yesterday, poor directional set up resulted in some (cool-looking but result-destroying) exits and ejections (literally, as some of you tumbled out of hairpins).

See you Tuesday in SL gear at Wilmot where 100% of the mountain is OPEN.
