Race Training

(Hmm...yeah, we can handle it)

With sub freezing temps and uncrowded trails, several KWSC Snowboard Team members decided today was the day to train for the upcoming GS race at Bromley on 12/18. We spent plenty of time on Snowdon repeating fundamentals on Mouse Run and Mouse Trap- especially "home" position, which helps riders use their whole bodies to rutn the board rather than just shoulders. Everyone did great after they remembered that getting better doesn't mean freeriding all the time- it takes hard work!
In the afternoon, a smaller group trained boardercross by passivelhy, then actively absorbing troughs and bumps, which ended in 3 runs on the very bumpy "high line". What a great day! These riders are going to do great in BX!!!!
