KMSST Week 17 & 18

Where does the time go? Back at the airport once again. The team flew out of Boston on the 14th of March for the last stop of the Revolution Tour and two NORAM boardercross's. The team managed to get on the hill for training on the 15th despite the late traveling. The slopestyle event took place on Tuesday. Alex got 42nd, Mitch 29th, and Chris 27th. Wednesday was halfpipe. Alex got 38th and Mitch was close to making finals with an 18th finish. On Thursday Chris and Max took to the boardercross course with Chris getting 43rd and Max 37th. The boys took the following day off. Max had his first NORAM boardercross on Saturday and finished 33rd... just missing brackets. The other three spent the day at Timberline. Max finished the week with his second NORAM boardercross, but this time he did make brackets with a 32nd placing in his time trial. He managed 3rd in his heat which included a couple of Canadian National team members. After the competition, the team loaded up the Suburban and headed to Portland to kill some time before the 11pm flight(from hell). We arrived back at KMS at 7pm the following day. Needless to say, we took Tuesday off. The team is now preparing for USASA Nationals in April at Copper, Colorado. We will be flying out on the 2nd for some slopestyle, halfpipe, boardercross, and giant slalom competition.

Once again... it begins in Boston
