Sorry this has been late in coming to you!

It was a great day for golf and we had 11 teams come out in support of On Hill Technology for the OMARA Programs.  It was a great time for all of the skiers and riders to show off their golfing talents (or lack thereof) and enjoy an afternoon of sunshine and dinner on the deck!

It’s that time of year again – time to gear up for the upcoming winter at the annual OMARA Fit Day!

 In conjunction with Fit Day, we are doing a FitNESS Day on Saturday, September 17th from 9 am – 11:30 am.  The location will be in the Jackson Gore Courtyard or the Ice House (in case of rain).  This session will be run by Bruce Johnston, the new OMS Athletic Program Director and J3 coach, but is open to anyone of any age in the Okemo Competition Program – alpine, freestyle, or snowboard athletes.  We will conduct a fun and light workout with some mock physical testing and balance and agility work that applies to all winter sports.  Athletes should wear sneakers and comfortable clothes and bring a water bottle.  This is not a mandatory session, but will be a lot of fun!
 
On Sunday, September 18thwe will be having our annual Fit Day in the Jackson Gore Courtyard from 9 am – 1 pm.  There will be this year’s newest alpine and freestyle skiing equipment on display with boots available to try on.  Many local shops will also be there through whom you will be able to place equipment orders for the upcoming season and take advantage of competition pricing, which represents a significant savings.  The snowboard program will have a separate fit session later in the fall.  If you have any questions regarding equipment for your child, please contact his/her respective coach or Bruce Johnston or Mariel Meringolo are always available to help.

I have a number of mugs in the Competitions Center.  I will leave them on display inside the door, so you may pick them up at your convenience.

The following athletes still have mugs in the Competition Center: (more…)

Hey Folks,

Thank you for another fantastic year on the snow!  As the season thinks about switching over to Spring and eventually Summer, and we all dust off our golf clubs, lacrosse sticks and soccer cleats, I just want to pass along a couple of messages.

First, Thank You!!! to all of you who volunteered throughout the season, whether it was coaching, race crew, registration, scoreboard duty, bib collection, bib sorting, all of your efforts are appreciated and help make this (more…)

Hey All,

Don’t forget about our Annual Seasonal Awards Party and Fun Race on Wardance this Saturday the 26th!

We will be grilling up burgers and dogs out by the Yurt and running a Duals Course on Wardance!

So kids, bring your parents by and show off those skills you’ve been learning all year by beating them down the hill!

We will also be handing out awards for season-long accomplishments in each program!

All the fun will get started mid-morning and the food and awards will begin around lunch!
Thank you for a great season!!!

Despite the poor weather this past weekend, everyone in attendance skied strongly at Regionals at Killington.

James Maguire snagged at Wild Card spot for the mens slopestyle, finishing 8th for the day, just behind Jared Colletti in 7th. Jared also finished 3rd in Aerials.

On the Mogul side of things, I don’t believe in my years of coaching that I have attended a comp that it rained any harder.

However Despite the rain everyone skied great and stood up their runs. Chris Fox, Maggie Bonnet and Patrick Craig were gunning for Wild Card spots and just came up short. Maggie and Chris both had their best finishes of the season.

This weekend we will have regular training, Sat and Sun.
