Nationals Photos!


Thanks to the parents for helping me out with new photos for our blog. We had amazing support from the Martins, Simmons, Handburys, and Bengtsons while we were out in Winter Park. In the coming days expect more photos to be put up, but in the meantime, you can check out the new photos HERE. I will be writing up a more complete description of our time at Nationals soon.

Waterville Regionals / We're At Nationals

Apologies for the long delay in updating the blog. We are currently out at Winter Park Colorado with the Brown Women training for USCSA Nationals. Last week the team qualified at Regionals taking a 3rd in the GS and in the Overall as well. We had excellent food from the many parents that came to the event. Debbie Consiglio has graciously uploaded some excellent photos which you can check out right HERE.

The past few days here at Winter Park have been nothing short of spectacular. Blue skies and 50 degree weather make all of those cold temperatures and overcast days back East well worth it. We are staying within walking distance of the town of Winter Park which makes for plenty to do after skiing is done. We have had two excellent days of training and another day of fantastic free skiing. The ruts have been big in the training, but nothing that we couldn't overcome. After hard training in the mornings, the afternoons have been free with plenty of time for free skiing and relaxing at home. The coaches have even been able to make a few turns together in the afternoons (!).

Tomorrow is the women's GS for the National Title. We are motivated after some fantastic skiing over the course of the past few days and we are hopeful that the results reflect all of the efforts that we have put in over the entire season. We will be joined not only by the Simmons, Handbury, and Martin families, but also Olympic hopeful and Brown sophomore-to-be Dow Travers. Thank you all for your ongoing support and interest in the ski team!!!
