    Videos from Sundown have been uploaded and renamed by bib number. Many thanks to Jeff Curry, Matt Coughlin, Kevin Desai, Abhi Kumar, and coaches for standing still without gloved hands on such a frigid weekend to get the shots. Video is in the same location with the same password, just different sub folder for Sundown.

    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…

    Boot Buckling

    I’ve noticed some athletes don’t have their boots buckled properly – or at all 😳. I have been looking for a good video and found one I absolutely love. Even if you think you know how to buckle up – check out how to buckle your ski race boot here: -Coach Steve

    Due to the overwhelming number of team members and coaches traveling to races this weekend, practice at home will be skills and drills, free skiing with coaches. Meet at the tree at 9:30am Saturday and Sunday 2/4 & 2/5. SL skis recommend, but any race ski is fine.

    MUST RSVP for weekend

    This weekend 2/4, 2/5: We have 3 races at different WI and MI travel destinations plus scheduled training at home. We need EVERYONE on Team Snap to select one of these events so we can balance our coaching staff. I also think some of you have a valid point in that we still have a few team members who are NOT on TeamSnap or are on here but have not downloaded the app and do not stay up to date. Thanks Chris Carrier and several others for pointing this out. Again, for 2/4 and 2/5: EVERYONE needs to RSVP for one of our 4 events. If you are not planning…
