January 9th- 15th

Happy back to school skiers!

I hope everyone who raced had a blast! I checked out the results and it looks like I missed a great day.

After the last race we discussed a few things and I would like you to do the same for this race.

Post (after) race questions:

1) What went well at the race?
2) What you think you need to work on?
3) What was the most fun?
4) Did you like the mass start?

This weekend is O’Cup 2 with classic on Saturday and freestyle on Sunday.
