Race Results

Congratulations to Allison V. who scored a FIS SL 79-point race today up at Sunday River. Down at Bromley, Kristie R. placed 6th and Kelly R. came in 15th to round out the first sheet. Though the field was small, we're banking on seeing everyone make significant upward movement tomorrow.

On the drive home, we stopped off at a neat, little farm stand so the girls could feed apples to the horses.

Kelly, Brit, and Kara attempt to feed the horses.

This horse shows us just what he thinks of the KMS J1/2 Women's Team.

Women Race at Sunday River, Bromley, and Okemo

The KMS J1/2 Women's Team finished up a cold, but highly productive, week of training at Killington. Winter has officially set up shop, and we hope it decides to stay for the duration. This weekend, Senior Danielle M. and Junior Allison V. are competing in SL and GS Eastern Cup races at Sunday River in Maine. The rest of the team, including Anne C., Brittany A., Emma F., Kristie R., Kelly R., Kara V., Lisa S., and Katie B. head to Bromley on Saturday for a Vermont Cup SL and Okemo on Sunday for a George Tormey Series GS. Best of luck to all our racers competing the next few days!

First Race

First race day jitters are now officially behind us. Stratton's marquee GS hooked and turned its way down North American, and so did our KMS J1/2 Women's Team. An unexpected snowstorm dominated second run, and we had an eventful--but safe--return drive to Killington. Everyone is now pumped up for tomorrow's slalom which should bring noteworthy results. Remember to follow along with same-time action at www.live-timing.com!

Women Take It On The Road

We'll be heading to our GS race venue at 10:30 tomorrow morning to get some afternoon gate training in preparation for this weekend's GS & SL races at Stratton. We're very excited about this amazing opportunity. Get a good night's rest, girls!

Slalom Training at Killington

We've been fortunate enough to have slalom training at Killington the past two days. Photos to be posted shortly. Our plan is to train slalom again tomorrow (Wed), take Thursday off, and then prepare for the still scheduled Sunday race at Stratton the rest of the week. All of the girls are in excellent spirits, and we are happy that winter finally seems here to stay.

Team East Skis NH & Learns History All In One Day

As Team East learned yesterday, NH and VT are not the same state despite the fact that there are no quality radio stations in either of those places. We headed out before sunrise on a journey to Bretton Woods, NH.

Brit, Katie, and Kelly after a looooong day of skiing.

After skiing for four hours, we decided it was time to head home. But a car ride home just isn't the same without an adventure. Since the girls had missed classes for the day to go skiing in a faraway land, there was still some learning to be had. So we made it a point to stop at every historical (or as Brittney renamed them "hysterical") landmark on the way back to Vermont.

We learned about towns that no longer exist.

And homemade kilns where people once made coal.

But best of all was Bath, NH, where we learned about the founder of the town and his daughter, Mercy, who planted a garden on top of this weird rock by carrying dirt in her apron to the top of the ladder. The girls climbed the rock to check out Mercy's pumpkin garden. All-in-all, not a bad day... skiing, learning, and pumpkin gardens galore.
