KMSST Week 8 Review

The team was happy to back at it after a long holiday break. With conditions being their finest, the mountain did not disappoint anyone either. Monday was a bluebird day with tons of new terrain for the Wisco's to discover. The team trained mainly in the Stash park but also ventured around the rest of the mountain to see what else Killington had to offer. The team also spent some quality time with photographer Justin Cash on Tuesday and Wednesday . The photo shoot started in the Mouse Run park but with most shooting taking place in the Stash park. Some of the photo's can be found on Justin's blog and Facebooks "Stokelab". Finally, the team discovered the Ram's Head park on Thursday and enjoyed training the remainder of the week on a fun set up that provided a lot of flow similar to the courses they will soon be competing in. Although the jumps will certainly be a lot larger in the Rev Tour and Southern Vermont series. The team has been training in Stash, Mouse Run and Ram's Head parks since Killington's Dreamaker park is scheduled to open next week. The team has been preparing for this weeks first stop of the Revolution Tour at Mount Snow, VT. Followed by the fifth stop of the Volcom Stone's Peanut Butter and Rail Jam at Waterville Valley, NH.

KMSST Week 4 Review

Week four was actually more like two days. It was Thanksgiving week so training was only on Monday and Tuesday. The team was fully intact on the first day and powered through a lower body workout. Chris took the train early the next morning, while the rest were left to play on the trampoline with the Freestyle team. The "Wiscos" left for Wisconsin Wednesday morning. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Training resumes on the 30th.
