Mt Baldy Training for NG Race No.1

January 27th was a great day of training for the Nancy Greene kids. We trained dual slalom in the early part of the day and switched to singel GS near the end of the day. All the kids were really pumped and worked hard on their techniques. This coach feels that we have a very strong team that should do well next weekend at Apex.

For the Apex race, meet at the Apex Ski Club Cabin left of the T-bar at 8:45 am. We are putting together two teams for the E1 race and the E2s will race individually following the E1 race.

Big White K Level Slalom


January 19th and 20th K level slalom at Big White was a success for Mt. Baldy. Madeleine Everton placed 11th in the first race and 17th in the second. Silken Rauhala placed 4th in the first race and 5th in the second. It was a very well run race by Big White and the coaching staff was gracious enough to let our team train with them on Friday befor the races. The attached picture is Madeleine in the 1st stubbie slalom course on Jan 19th.

Nancy Greene Training

Well, the first two training days are complete in the Nancy Greene Racing season. Mt Baldy has been very supportive, giving us the Face run to use for gate setting. Coaches Warren, Maxine and Mark have been impressed with the level of skiing with this year's athletes. It looks like Mt Baldy has a team to be reckoned with. Parents have been great supporting the program each week. Thanks to parent volunteers for all your time and effort.
Just a reminder that fees are due and the first race in on February second at Apex. Our club challenge race will not be held January 27. We are now trying to arrange it for February 9th.
