July 31 Saas Fee Day #2 on snow




Conditions could not be better! The glacier is in great shape with lots of snow that is firm till late in the morning. It is perfect for drills and training. we continued to get back on our feet today on GS boards. Open buckles, stance drills and Schlopy and tea pot drills as well. Getting stances dialed in and headed for gate drills tomorrow. We have two moderate pitch and shorter lanes side by each in the AM, and will most likely have some National Teams surrounding us.
Stuart ran a circuit dry land session and on the walk back to the hotel the Norge team was doing their circuits and WoW powerful stuff. Some of our Okemo athletes watched in amazement while these supermen did unbelievable workouts!!
The experience here in Saas Fee really can not be beat.
Athletes are working hard and making changes and progress to their skiing.

July 30th SAAS FEE day #1 on snow




Today was simply amazing. Saas Fee has the greatest summer snow surface going!!!! The snow is super firm in the AM, and gets softens up real nice about 10:30-11AM. Athletes skied in groups with coaches today and are feeling the effects of altitude. The feet were sore and the body's tired but athletes did some mobility and Mariel ran a great yoga session for a little recovery time. They are hydrating and eating well and working very hard on the hill. We are moving to a GS block tomorrow. look at these great views we are getting. I will have skiing pictures for the blog tomorrow as well. This has been a really fantastic start for a camp and a great group of kids!!!!
