Devo Update Weekend of 2/4 + 2/5

marielmeringolo — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:01:44 +0000

Hello All,

Great weekend of training last weekend! We were able to get in SL and GS work and the kids seem to be skiing great!

For this weekend, Okemo 1 is home training both days and Okemo 2 is home on Saturday and at Killington on Sunday for a GS race. Training days at home are according to normal schedule, with normal meeting place.

Saturday: Saturday will be a GS training day for both teams.

Sunday: Okemo 1 will train SL at home in preparation for next weekend’s Stubby SL. Okemo 2 see details below for info on the GS race at Killington.

Okemo 2 GS Race at Killington on Sunday:
Registration will be in the Killington Ski Club Building which is just up the hill to the right from the K1 Lodge, which is the lodge that is at the very end of the access road by the K1 gondola. Registration will begin at 7 AM and end at 8:15 am. Note that reigstration is NOT upstairs in the K1 Lodge like it used to be, but that you MUST keep your stuff in the K1 Lodge and apparently it is now a BAG FREE lodge, so you have to check your bags (new this year – not sure of details with that). Entry fee is $30 – CASH ONLY!! Bibs will be handed out at registration – remember to put it on your child right away and instruct them not to remove it. I recommend getting there early! Killington is a busier place than everywhere else we go!

Please note: Parent tickets are available for $50 – the fact sheet doesn’t specify but in the past it has been cash only at registration for these. It is also unclear from the fact sheet, but I think they may stop selling them at 8:15 am. Be aware of this.

We will meet the kids outside of the base lodge at 8:00 AM to head to the course for inspection and a free run. Please be sure that they are on time – the race trail is not right outside of the lodge so it is imperative they are on time to go for inspection. The race will be on Bunny Buster, which is most directly accessed by the Snowdon Quad or Snowdon Triple lift (whichever is running – quad at 8 am and triple at 9am) which you will get to by going under the K1 gondola and continuing straight until you come to either one (the triple is first and the quad a bit further). Once over there, the best way to lap on the course will be to ride the t-bar.

The race is scheduled to begin at 9:30 am. The second run will begin right after the first, so there won’t be much time for a break. Additionally, Bunny Buster is a far way from the Lodge – help your kids magae their time. Full lunch is probably best left until after the race is completely over, but a snack and a quick warm up should work. We had some trouble last weekend with Okemo 1 being on time for starts – let’s not do that again : )!

There will be a post-race free-ski program again, which will be a lot of fun at Killington! (I think unless they changes things up since it is Super Bowl Sunday!) We will meet at the conclusion of the second run back behind the Killington Ski Club (Again, I think – listen for announcements during the race), which again is the building just uphill from the K1 Lodge. Your children will be split into groups and sent off with coaches from Killington, Okemo, and other mountains. They will return to the ski club after 45 min/one hour at which point the awards will be presented there.

Driving Directions:
From Ludlow, take a right onto Rt 100 North by Bella Luna. Follow this until it intersects with Rt. 4 (watch out for cops in Plymouth when the speed limit drops!). Take a left onto Rt. 4. Go past the gondola on the side of the road and keep going until you go up a big hill. The access road will be on your left. Follow it all the way to the top to the K1 Lodge.

Other News:
OMS Valentine Victory Camp: Those of you whose children have signed up, look for details on the camp in an email next week! Camp is now full and closed for registration.

Quechee Stubby SL Camp: This camp is also full – details to come next week, but you can basically plan on arriving around 7:30/7:45 am at Quechee (1 hr driving time) with your child for registration like on a race day.

Second Annual Okemo Mountain School Winter Festival! I hope you all received my email invite last week to the OMS Winter Festival on February 18 from 7-10 pm. It will be a lot of fun – great wine, beer, and food to sample, a silent auction, and music! Please also consider supporting OMS through our accompanying fundraising drive.

Please let me know if you have any questions, but I think that is all for now! See you this weekend!

Thanks,

Mariel
