OMST parents and athletes,
Believe it or not, our final month of training is here. It’s been such a great season so far and March is the best time for pushing your progression and claiming new tricks. I’m excited to watch all the athletes dig deep and bring up the energy for spring skiing. We have our final USASA SVS freestyle events this week with a slope today, a rail jam on Saturday, and a double pipe on Sunday. For the athletes who are not competing, training will be from 8:45am-1:15pm both days. I encourage any of our newer athletes to take some time over the weekend to watch each discipline to see if this is something they would be interested in doing next season.
USASA EVENT SCHEDULE 2/28-3/1
Friday, 2/28: USASA SVS final slopestyle @ Okemo. Skiers will compete in the afternoon
Saturday, 3/1 USASA SVS final Rail Jam @ Okemo: Athletes competing need to meet coaches at registration in the base lodge at 7:45am and need to bring their bibs. Athletes who are not competing will train OMFT from 8:15am-1:15pm with a heavy dose of pipe training.
Sunday, 3/2 USASA SVS final Halfpipe events @ Okemo and BBQ: Athletes competing need to meet coaches at registration in the base lodge at 7:45am and need to bring their bibs. Athletes who are not competing in pipe will train OMFT from 8:15am-1:15pm. Paul Kelly is planning on the Annual SVS cookout on Sunday at the pipe and if there are any parents who would like to help out, I am sure he would take you up on it!
*Please refer to the USASA SVS Team App for a detailed schedule of the 3 event days.
If anyone has any questions on anything, please let me know. —
