Saturday 11/15, 6th Day on Snow!

Everyone finally got a chance to ski some tall gates, and work on skiing fundamentals. We started with a brush apex drill course, that was later converted into an apex drill, with tall gates. After the top drill course lower on the lane we skied a combination course, that was later changed into a rhythm section. Giving everyone a race like simulation. The end of the rhythm section was set with little off set to give everyone a chance to work on creating speed on the flats. At the very end we also had a pole jumper drill. It was amazing to see the progress all of our athletes made from their first runs to their last.

Another great aspect of training in Colorado is that it gives young athletes a chance to see top level athletes National teams from around the world. Everywhere you look there are amazing ski racers working hard to improve. Just having the opportunity to watch some good skiing is beneficial for all of out athletes.

Tomorrow we will be back on Slalom skis, getting ready for our second training lane day on Monday. We have been getting hammered with snow, so we should have some great powder turns tomorrow!
