2/2/09 WEEKLY UPDATE

OMS Freerider Andrew Holson enters

Level 1 Productions' Superunknown Contest

check out... http://www.level1productions.com/news.php?id=197&y=2008&m=11

We'll know the finalists by March, so wish Andrew luck!

A Freeride...

RT brought Jeremy Peterson and Tyler Galloway up to Sunday River for the USSA A Slopestyle this past Saturday. In addition to battling the Mt. Snow team in a vicious game of Laser Tag, the team put down some solid runs on the slope course as well. Jeremy snagged a 15th place, missing the top 10 by less than 2 pts., and Tyler earned himself 37th place. All were pleased with their performances, and are excited to get back at it this weekend at Waterville...

This Weekend:

  • USSA A slope at Waterville on SUNDAY. REGISTER by Wednesday. Will email with logistics... potentially looking for a parent to drive over on Saturday morning...
  • Wish our OMS crew luck at Friday's Slopestyle qualifiers in Aspen!

A Moguls...

The A mogul team was just up the road at Killington this past weekend, where White, Heitsmith, and Conroy took on monster field of 77 males in singles. They placed 30th, 28th, and 57th, respectively. Duals on Sunday brought the real excitement, with Heitsmith advancing to the second round and White crushing his way into the top 16.

This weekend:

  • Singles at Waterville, Saturday. Please register by Wed. We will be leaving Ludlow early Friday morning to train.

B Moguls / Freeride...
The bulk of the B squad will be at OMS this week for the February Freestyle camp, working on their turns and airs, preparing for championship events like Regionals and Easterns, and getting a taste of what it's like to be an OMS student. So far, we're having a blast and we're excited to have you guys here!

There seems to be some confusion regarding Sunappee or Mt Snow this weekend for the B Team... PLEASE check with me before registering so we can get the whole team to the same comp.

Fresh Start Freestylers (and some B's, too...)...

Report from Coach G:

"Sunday was one of my favorite days of the whole season. We dug out the jump on Black Out (with a super sweet, soft landing) and the B's and the Fresh Starters came to have fun and get their airs ready for the Okemo comp on Feb. 14th and 15th. Jace, Kyle, Christian and Sam all landed and skied out of sweet 360s and are ready to go for Mt. Snow next weekend. Maggie tried her first 360 and made it to 270! Both Jia and Matt also tried 3s and made it to 90! I'm thrilled that everyone gave it their all. Keep it up guys!"

Thanks and have a great week!

Hey guys its Ex-Coach Mikey!
Sorry I missed you guys this year, it's hard to ski at Okemo when I'm 2000 miles away. The first step to becoming a good jumper is going as big as possible and trying your hardest to land. If you can do that you can do anything!

this blog is kinda confusing me but here what me dale and buller have been up to latley. Were in Aspen right now skiing at the Aspen Open. The course consists of a down rail down box option. Into a elevated butter pad, to a cannon box; a box that is in the take off of a jump. The cannon then leads us into a three jump line, a 55 45 and a 80. We have gotten great weather all week, though Saturday is calling for snow.

Haha, can't wait for the double flip. Hope i will be able to come up to Okemo and shred some slush with u guys in March. Also, hope the team does well at Aspen, the course looks pretty dope!!! Hows the park been? looks like it shood be good since here in NY we have been getting hammered with snow. Anyway, hope all is good in VT and good luck Holson, i bet the edit is sick.

Way to go Holson, we're all pulling for you man.

To the B's, way to keep killing it. From what I hear about the OMS camp you kids are improving by leaps and bounds.

Harry and the OMS crew in Aspen, good luck at the Aspen Open. Make us proud. Same to the crew heading up to Waterville.

To the other Ryan, heal up fast man, you need to get back on snow soon.
