* Weekend Past Notoriety Our cow-clad clan has become Okemo famous. On Saturday I was amazed at the number of onlookers marveling at the squad. (Sure, the costumes were a hit, but I like to think it was because of their great skiing.) Countless Okemo guests asked for photos. For example, this guy stated that he (seriously) works for the USDA. He suggested…
Hello Athletes and Parents, It has been a rollercoaster of weather conditions recently. It is trending warmer for the weekend, so be ready for the elements. Friday is looking like it will be okay for the State SG Race at Sugarbush. Friday 3/1 Sugarbush VT State SG Race: info here The race announcement is attached. Lifts load at 8am, we will…
* Weekend Past As coaches, we garner pleasure from simple items: an athlete mastering a long-practiced skill, displays of sportsmanship and good citizenry, ‘Aha moments’ when kids put it all together, and of course, signs that skiing together has indeed fostered some new friendships. When the first cow-clad Devo arrived on Saturday morning I was a little perplexed. However, once the…
Hello Athletes and Parents, Hope everyone is having a good week so far! We have had some of the best snow conditions and weather of the season the last few days. Unfortunately, it looks like a warm up is coming with some rain on Saturday. Seems to be the story of this Winter. Fingers crossed we will be able to get…
Greetings Devos ! * Be Our Valentine ♥️ We have a plan in place for this Saturday, February 10th ! Emma’s mom has generously purchased scratch-off tickets, and prepared envelopes for distribution to the 85 lifties and ticket scanners covering Okemo’s 20 lifts. As a show of gratitude, Devos will personally distribute the envelopes throughout the ski day. We will also be crafting…

Some race updates, the U14 MVC SG Race has been rescheduled for Sunday 2/25! Thank you to Okemo for making that happen for us. I also got word that we can have anyone who wants…
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…
