Sundown race details
Welcome to Sundown weekend!Don’t you love the reaction from friends when you tell them you are headed to a ski vacation in Iowa?! Sundown is also an “upside down” hill where the parking and chalets are at the top. All racers are on the same general hill – both courses start at the top together and the big kids ends to the left while little kids course veers off to the skiers right. We have a Wilmot table downstairs in the South Lodge (it’s the last one as you head down the road – last parking lot- will be the busiest one first thing in the morning). After morning meeting…

Remaining training
Wilmot is closed today 3/6. We will see if they open for training tomorrow. If Wilmot is open (and has enough snow depth for training), we plan to finish out the season with Tues and Thursday night plus Saturday regular training programs. Sunday will be our end of season event/party/meeting/team photo and hopefully the Wilmot Open Race. All team members are eligible. We are working on adding: siblings, parents and coaches to the race as well. If we race, registration will begin at 8:30 am. More details later in the week. -Coach Jon

One Ski Drill
For those who were at practice today, here is the one ski stuff we were working on. Everyone needs some more work on one ski skiing. https://videos.usskiandsnowboard.org/alpineed/detail/videos/edging__/video/6049278568001/one-ski-skiing And here’s a newer video of the same stuff. I like the first video. Be sure and watch both of these with your racers. https://videos.usskiandsnowboard.org/alpineed/detail/videos/edging/video/5582471576001/phase-3-one-ski-skiing -Coach Jon

Outside Ski Hop Turns
Here is the drill we worked on at practice Tuesday night. All U12 and older athletes should be able to master this. U10 should be developing with this. Please practice this on SL days and your own time. https://videos.usskiandsnowboard.org/coetv/detail/videos/rotary_/video/5327038033001/outside-ski-hop-turns And here is a good way to start by doing hop turns on boots only, no skis. We will be working on this as well.

Racing notes from DH race
Racing to race, not skiing to finish: Parents, I very much understand not wanting to travel several hours each weekend to watch your athlete DNF, but falls and missed gates are simply part of ski racing. The best ski racers will ski out and/or crash from time to time (sometimes just a few gates from the finish) because they are charging down the hill and racing for a good result. The best time to practice this is in the first 2-3 runs at training-treat them like race runs. After that, it’s time to dial the aggression back and work on some technique/tactics. Paying attention during inspection (especially at races) and…
