You will find official selection boards for WR J3 Champs with instructions on how to confirm or decline your intent to race on the ussaak.org website. These were posted at 8am this morning and with a 48 hour window all intents need to be in by 8am Thursday otherwise the athlete will be considered to have declined their position.  Alternates also need to intent if they wish to take a spot if available although they need not send in the deposit.

Please be aware that athletes cannot attend both AWG and WR J3 Champs so early alternates will likely be offered quota spots.

All athletes planning to attend the event should read the 2012 WR J3 CHAMPS info doc.  It should answer most of your questions and includes a cost estimate as well as flight info.

Wednesday Hilltop – new time?

Thanks to some constructive feedback from parents we are hoping to push back Wednesday’s Hilltop training to 5-7pm.  Are there any objections to moving the time back? If so please leave a comment or get in touch.  This week our schedule has us doing SL (stubbie gates) where we will concentrate on working the ski on flat terrain and looking for speed.

2012 AWG, WR Junior Champs, and J4 IMD champs selection boards

Aside

Boards were posted to the USSAAK.org website late last night.  Congratulations to all.  Athletes need to get in touch with the division and pay the $250 deposit to secure their spot.  J3 athletes who wish to qualify for J3 WR champs in MT need to relinquish their position at AWG.  Please contact the coaching staff with questions and Natalie the division Admin to pay the deposit.  Steve Mashburn is a good contact for AWG.

Hilltop Make-up session

Aside

We will hold a Hilltop makeup session this Wednesday Feb 8th 4-6pm.  Thank you for the responses asking for the session, I hope everyone can make it.  We will focus on fundamentals and introduce Skills Quest (new evaluation program from USSA that came out a week or two ago.)

Also for those that haven’t already heard we are hosting the FIS-University series this Wed-Sat. It would be good for everyone to come out and watch some high level racing in person.  If you are interested in forerunning please get in touch with Aaron as he will make the call.  The GS will start at Midway chair 1 and continue over Steilhung, this will make for great race viewing and great training for any upper level J3.  These are normal day races. We are still short  Stay tuned for other training opportunities Wed-Fri.
