We made it through another Friday after a pretty warm and rainy spell. Unlike the previous one though, this was was 22 degrees at the summit and cloudy. That didn't stop us though!
Will S. and Coach Evan trained hard in the early season park for the Loaded Turkey Rail jam this Sunday. They dialed in the approaches, takeoffs, moves and landings and developed a strategy for the comp on Sunday. It ended after Will had hiked the rails 40+ times and couldn't stand anymore. He is stoked for Sunday!!!
Coach KC and Sam H. made laps getting ready for the 1st GS of the year- 12/18 at Bromley. The theme of the morning: look-ups. We looked uphill when moving onto our heel edge to prevent the shoulders from turning downhill and helping the tail of the board skid around the top of the heel turn (read: slow you down). The afternoon was spent refining using a flat base in transitions between turns. Sam is going to kill it on the race course this year! Sam and I ended the afternoon with a new gondola walkway speed record: 4 minutes and 19 seconds from the northridge lift to the inside of the gondola car. we may not break it this year as top-to-bottom riding begins today!!!
Good luck to Conner and Coach Evan who leave for Colorado today. They'll be back with us in December. Shred some for us guys!
See you on the hill,
KC
