Dear U12 and U10 Families,
Hope you are well! Last weekend was chock full of fun and excitement! The U10s had an awesome race on Saturday at Quechee and just nearly missed bringing home the Helmet again (by only 3 points!). Results are linked HERE. Then we had an AMAZING powder day on Sunday. I was SO impressed with how well our athletes skied in the powder, which can be tricky for East Coast kids who are more accustomed to ice :)!
IMPORTANT Schedule Note: The U10 race schedule was finally finalized and Okemo is going to host the U10 Panel SL on SUNDAY March 2 (reg link below!).
This weekend:
2/15: U12s and U10s train GS
