Gates on the Shaft


Sunday's training session was a relative success. We are getting some gates is on the Shaft though our turn-around time is understandably slow. The terrain is quite good with the steeper sections and rolling sections providing an increased fun factor for the kids. We also welcomed coach Valerie from Mt. Baldy ski school who has taken on the development of our blue team. She comes with highs credentials from Big White and Red Mountain. The double black team worked hard on their stance in order to carry speed and hold their line. The black team worked on similar skills while the blue team concentrated on maintaining parallel turns. Green was all about having fun while skiing consistently and getting used to the racecourse.
Post training included a parent meeting to discuss delegation of duties for the upcoming race and other administrative functions of running the club. Stay tuned for more details.
