West Mt and Quechee

The women's team has had a busy month competing and travelling! Our most recent competition was an open FIS race in West Mountain, NY. Don't worry, we didn't know where that was either until a few days before the race. Most of the women went, giving a couple of athletes their first FIS starts to develop their profiles. Ali Visconti took 1st place, which is her first FIS win! Michelle Martin and Jocelyn Werle took top honors for the J2s. Martin was 3rd and Werle 2nd. Kelly Rowland came in 17th and Jerica MacMahon took 23rd.

Yesterday we trained at Quechee Mountain. The girls trained gates and drills with the Quechee ski team j4 and j3 team. We had a great time in the sun getting to know the younger athletes. Tomorrow the girls will compete at Suicide Six in a slalom Vermont Cup.

This weekend our whole women's squad competed in Vermont Cups at Suicide Six and Killington. The girls skied well during their GS home race on Needles Eye. Allison Visconti had a fast second run, coming in 5th place, placing her in 11th overall. Michelle Martin, Kelly Rowland, Kristie Ryan, Jessie McNeil were right next to one another, coming in 17th, 19th, 20th and 21st, respectively. Jocelyn Werle made her first GS race of the season coming off of an injury. She moved from bib 70 to coming in 23rd place!

Yesterday we had a great GS apex training session on Needles. Todays session is TBD due to the weather.

Busy Week!

The KMS women's team has had a very busy month with travelling, competing and training. This past week the women have travelled to Sugarloaf, ME, Stratton, Stowe, and Cranmore, NH. To kick off the week, Ali Visconti competed at the NCAA college carnival hosted by Colby. Ali moved up from starting 54th to coming in 25th place. After scoring a 53 as well as experiencing an epic flat tire adventure in the middle of Stratton, ME, she had a successful weekend!
Back in VT, the girls competed in 2 Vermont Cups: 2 GS events at Stowe and Stratton. Kelly Rowland had a very successful weekend, coming in 15th on Saturday and the 4th on Sunday! Kelly scored a 95 and an 89. Kristie Ryan was right behind her on Saturday, coming in 18th.
On Monday and Tuesday, Ali, Kristie, as well as first time Eastern Cup competers, Jessie McNeil and Michelle Martin, raced at the Cranmore Slalom FIS series in NH. Rookies Jessie and Michelle both moved up respectively in the rankings and scored to develop their slalom profile. Cranmore ended up having beautiful weather, despite the low temperatures. The girls took advantage of the free skiing and training courses, which were kept up all day. Monday night they enjoyed homemade lasagna and carrot cake in Eaton!
