Ski and Snowboard Injury Prevention

On this beautiful spring morning, freeride DJ, freestyle Deb and a couple of Alpine coaches and I are listening to an amazing panel of surgeons, coaches and physical therapists discuss injuries.  Knee, head and other topics will be discussed.  We'll use this information to help train our athletes and limit internal and external factors to help them prevent injury.  Knowing is half the battle!

Cross training

A morning climbing session at Deer Leap, about 15 minutes from Killington.  During our extreme cross training camp in July we'll be doing this as well as paddling mountain biking skating and gymnastics.  Email me for details!

Initial Lake Placid Info

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're enjoying spring and getting outside! My wrist and back are still healing, but I've started climbing again and hope to be mountain biking again soon. I'm super stoked to get into stand up paddling this summer- on lakes and in whitewater!

But enough about me. We've finally got dates for ramps and tramps in Lake Placid. 2 options: June 21-25 and June 25-29. We'll be sharing with the KMS Freestyle team. Check out www.psibanditcamp.com for some more info. I don't have a price yet, and it depends on a couple of factors:
If everyone who signs up is 12 years old and older, we'll stay at the Olympic Training Center. This option is less expensive, but everyone must be 12 and up
If we have campers who are under 12, we'll stay at a nearby B&B.
All meals will be included either way!
The only extra peicec will be transport to Lake Placid.

We'll spend the days on trampolines and jumping into water. It's fun, and exhausting. Any extra time at night will be having fun- movies, mini golf, etc.

Required items for camp:
Helmet with ear flaps
Hockey/football style mouthguard
Life jacket/pfd
Boots/bindings/board that can (and will) get soaked
Optional: additional pads- knee, elbow, butt, wrist

As soon as I confirm price, I'll send out details, but I'd love it if you'd email me if your rider is interested and in which (or both) dates.

Thanks, KC
