OMS Freerider Andrew Holson at Monday's private 4BI9 rail shoot on OKEMOphoto: Brendan Ladd
I think that all can agree that the Okemo Freestyle Holiday Party at The Killarney was AWESOME! There had to be over 40 of us there. Thanks to all who came and spread good cheer and to those who were not able to attend, we missed you... but there's always the next one!
To all of the athletes...
On behalf of the whole coaching staff, thanks for your focus and drive over this holiday training period. Despite the crazy New England fluctuations in weather, we have had some solid days in the moguls and in the park. Looking ahead, they are getting back into the pipe with snowmaking and I'm going out early in the morning to bump Blackout and build a jump as well.
On another note, I would like to emphasize the importance of attendance and punctuality -- if you are late, you miss out and so do the coaches who are excited (and paid) to be there coaching you. And if you don't show up at all, well...
A Freeride...
Last night, Okemo hooked it up with a custom built 20 ft. gap jump to a rail on Bull Run. This feature was built exclusively for a private night film shoot for OMS / 4BI9 freeriders. Pics are in the photo album (courtesy of Brendan Ladd) and as for the video, you'll have to buy the movie next fall!
Next competition--> USSA slope and Pipe, at Okemo, 1/10, 11.
A Moguls...
We'll be training on Blackout tomorrow with a partial course (only one air).
