Today we were at Whaleback Mountain, New Hampshire, for two boardercross events. For the first competition, Emilie came in 2nd for the Youth Women and Allison came in 3rd. For the Youth Men, Max came in 2nd, and for the Junior Men Eddie came in 6th. For the second competition Emilie came in 1st and Allison came in 3rd for the Youth Women, Max came in 6th for the Youth Men, and Eddie came in 6th for the Junior Men. Max probably would have done better, but Kyle Anderson from the club and him collided and Max sliced Kyle’s thumb. Victoria was not able to come today due to strep. It was a fun day, and we all had a good time…

Today we went to Sunapee Mountain in New Hampshire. We had our first slopestyle and halfpipe of the season. For the slopestyle, it was Allison’s first ever and she won youth women, Emilie in second and Victoria third. For the Youth Men, Max got 4th and for the Junior Men Eddie came in 6th. For the Halfpipe, Victoria won the Youth Women, Emilie came in second and Max got 5th for the Youth Men. Allison and Eddie did not compete in the Halfpipe today. Both yesterday and today we hung out with the people from the club and had a lot of fun. It was nice and snowy today making it feel like winter…
