1/20/09 WEEKLY UPDATE

Fresh Start Freestyler Maggie Bonnet
makes big news in the New York Times
...
Stay tuned for a notification of the publication of an NYT article in which one of our youngest and newest team members is interviewed for her expertise at a Junior Ski Testing Day at Okemo!

A Freeride...
The OMS Freeriders are returning to CO on Sunday for a week of training big jumps, once again, in preparation for the Aspen Freeskiing Open (the following week) -- a $50,000 prize purse competition on the very same course as the X-Games. Based on what I've seen from these guys in the park this week at Okemo, they're ready.

For those A Freeriders on the weekend team who are not going to CO, your next comp is Slopestyle at Sunday River, 1/31. Details to follow next week.

A Moguls...
Heitsmith, Conroy, and yes, Harry Landy(!) trekked almost all the way to Buffalo for the A mogul comp at Bristol this past weekend -- it was a great course, an even better continental breakfast, and Harry can tell you all about the mall there... but seriously, every member of our A mogul team is putting up higher scores each week, including some top 15 turn scores. Keep your eyes on easternfreestyle.org for them to post results. I hope it happens more efficiently than their events!! (jk, jk...)

And on a special note, this was Harry's first mogul competition back after a gnarly crash last season -- we're proud of you, buddy. Back on the horse, as it were...

This weekend, leaving Ludlow 6:45 AM for Whiteface. Will email with details...

B Moguls/Freeride...
Back on the comp circuit, B's!! This weekend is the annual Stevek's Mogul Challenge at Stratton. Everyone should sign up for both days! (It's close, so why not??)
  • Please register on easternfreestyle.org no later than Wednesday -- M1 is Saturday and M2 is Sunday... sign up for both!
  • Jon and Lenny will meet the team on course for training. Athletes should be at registration no later than 7:30 on Saturday.
  • Please email me to confirm that your child is competing and/or if carpooling is needed.
*** AND, welcome to our newest team member, Mark Preschern, and maybe even his brother Jack... and of course let's welcome their family as well!

Fresh Start Freestylers...
There is a new mini-park on Timberline with some great beginner jump features, which many of you checked out last weekend.

ALSO, we finally have our mogul training course up on Ledges, so that will be extremely valuable for all of our mogul athletes in the coming weeks.

Thanks and have a great week!
-Marks
