Cranmore GS - Beautiful!

Four inches of snow followed by blue sunny skies. The perfect ski day! The morning began with a delayed start due to the snow we received overnight. We were forced to spend about an hour slipping out the wide line on the course and clearing out the soft snow. Eventually we got down to a nice solid track that held up for both the men's and women's runs. First run for the women had some solid results with them coming in second and Krista Consiglio smoking the entire women's field (and most of the men's!) by a second and half. EPIC! The men also posted some strong runs. Adam Axler skied so hard that he lost a ski on the top part of the run (we are hoping that he keeps it on tomorrow). Congratulations go especially to David Sonshine who completed his first ever run! Great work!

The second run did not have much change from the first one. Elisa Handbury had a spectacular second run and Meaghan Casey also skied better that run. Our men had decent second run. Dow continued to battle "the plague" which has been circulating around the ski team, and Jeff finally got his hands in front of him to put down a better second run. Sonshine also had a fantastic save as he careened towards the B netting. Hannah did not compete today due to a shoulder injury, but she and I were able to sneak in an excellent run on the backbowls at Cranmore and enjoy a little fresh snow and ride that legendary double (see photos).

Please take some time to check out the fantastic photos which I have linked above. Special thanks to Blaine and Susan who took close to 50 photos to put up on our website. Well done! Thanks also to the Taubs, Caseys, and Richardsons for bringing food and much appreciated team support. Looking forward to another great day tomorrow at historic Cranmore and a Slalom that looks to be a real ripper with a start that is well up on the pitch.
