Hello Freeskiers!

I hope everyone had an amazing February break! We are gearing up for the final push of the regular comp season. This weekend: Whiteface 2* is on Saturday and Gore 2* will be on Sunday.

It was raining at the mountain today and it will be again tomorrow before it switches over to snow Thursday night. It looks like a small chance of snow with mild temps for this Saturday with some sun poking through. The Mountain Team will have Coach Jared filling in to coach on Saturday. For training on Sunday they will have a guest coach Jason Wyman coming in to help.


Good luck to all of those that are competing this weekend.


Those that are training at Smuggs your coaches will be:

Saturday:

U19/U15: Jessica and Guest Coach- Owen Manley

U12: Matt and Ethan

Sunday:

More details to come on that. Lake Placid is a super fun town and was the host of the 1980 Winter Olympic Games.
