OMST parents and athletes,  It’s hard to believe we are getting into February training already and the weather over the next week or so is looking great with moderate temperatures and no rain in the forecast. This weekend, training will be as usual from 8am-12:30pm and it’s looking promising that we may have a halfpipe to ride! For the athletes…

Dear U12 and U10 Families, First of all, amazing job by all of our athletes this weekend at Killington!!  Two tough days of racing and our athletes showed up ready to rock and roll! Lots of smiles and great displays of sportsmanship and camaraderie, as well as some top notch results!  The U10s even won the coveted Golden Helmet that…

Well, a few lift closures, and other transportation issues (e.g. finding alternative means of commuting from Jackson Gore to the main base at 8:00 am) made for a challenged morning.  While I receive frequent mountain updates, thanks to those of you who reached out to me with ‘on-the-ground’ details.  Ultimately, each of our coaches reported having solid day.  * And If…

*  It snowed…. and then …. well, you know, it is New England (No, not a Devo) Congrats to those who braved the day last Saturday, from what I am told those who survived were rewarded with very good snow conditions.  (Kudos to Nima, Goran, Garrett and Brian for shepherding the ‘dwindling’ crew for as long as they were willing to stay…

OMST parents and athletes, Training will be as usual this weekend and from 8am-12:30pm on Saturday and Sunday. The forecast is calling for very cold temps into the weekend so everyone should be layered up and equipped with a face mask and toe and hand warmers.  For the athletes who are racing in GS and SL, we have our final…

* The Long-Lost Pole Plant Pretty unattractive. I’d be OK losing this pole plant.  But, not so with this one …  For sure, there is a powerful pole plant hidden in the snow Our Devo ‘curriculum’ is progressing from snow up …  from feet to ankles, shins, knees, and higher. Last weekend we ‘detoured’ with work on hand position and proper pole…

Hello Athletes and Parents, Hope you had a great week so far and are looking forward to the weekend. We seem to keep picking up snow. This past storm ended in rain, but the extra moisture in the snow will make for a great training/race surface. Make sure your skis are sharp, for a productive training session. Make sure to dress…

Dear Okemo U12 and U10 Families, Hope you all are well!  In addition to the snow last week, we picked up another 10″+ earlier this week!  A little more snow tomorrow night and then Saturday may be a little wet – please be prepared with the right clothing. Below is training info for this weekend, a look ahead, and information about race registrations.  Other important reminders…

Athletes and Parents,  I hope everyone is having a great week! Coaches are looking forward to getting back to work this weekend at Okemo. It looks like we have some weather coming in overnight Friday night into Saturday and it may be a bit wet, so please bring appropriate outerwear for training. Remember to show up on time, ready to work hard and…
