USASA So. VT GS and SL

The Slalom (SL) Course at Bromley. They don't call it "Sun Mountain" for nothing!

With 2" of fresh snow, sun and warm temps, we were in for an interesting day at Bromley on Sunday Feb. 19. Logan Farmer, Ethan Farmer and Kamran Gossieaux showed up to prove they've been training and show the other riders that hard work pays off, and that's what they did! Logan Farmer (KMS Class of '14) put down the fastest two runs of the day for the Youth Men (14-15) and the second fastest combined times of the day regardless of age group earning him a Gold Medal in GS.

GS Results

After a short break and a course reset, the team was back at it on a very tight SL course. For the record, USASA snowboard GS gates are set 20-30 meters apart whereas SL are set at 8-12 meters apart. Although fast is the name of the game, it's the best line through the course that wins, and those that execute the best turns. For the Menehune Boys (10-11), that was Ethan Farmer on this day! Also putting down a great 2 runs was Logan Farmer who landed in second place for the Youth Men and third place overall on the day regardless of age group. Kamran Gossieaux also had a solid 2 runs earning third place in the Junior Men division. Kamran After a fall in run one, Gossieaux studied the other riders on the course, made the adjustment and raced to the podium. Nice job Kam!!

After a grueling first half of the competition season, Logan Farmer (KMS Class of '14) has earned a rest.

Kamran Gossieaux, Logan Farmer (KMS Class of '14) and Ethan Farmer earned a lot of medals!
