EQS Championship Results Posted
For full results from the meet please go to www.mountsnow.org.
The
top EQS mogul competitors - 67 men and 28 women - waited
restlessly at the start of the course. Mother Nature was not
cooperating. The fog was unusually thick at Mount Snow's well-known bump
run - Beartrap. The competition had been scheduled to start
at 10:00 and by 11:45 the fog was a thick as ever. There was
concern among officials, coaches and competitors that a two run meet
might not be possible - if there was to be a competition at all ...

To
the Mount Snow Freestyle Parents:
In
addition to all the great feedback about the Mount Snow EQS
Championships, we want to thank the parents who worked so hard to plan
and execute a fantastic event. While there were less parents in
evidence, we want to single out the entire Decker family, the Logans and
the Scheufeles, who really stepped up to the plate, whether their kids
were competing or not. We are looking forward to another great
year of fun and success for the entire Mount Snow Freestyle Team.
And of course, our thanks to the Aprils for their continuing support and
help.

Judges and
TD Clinic
Judges and
TD's Needed
The Eastern Division is short
on judges. If anyone wants to learn about judging or become a
judge there will be a clinic at Killington on April 12th and 13th.
You don't have to commit to anything for next season. It would be
nice to have a few parent judges on the Mount Snow Team and possibly to
assist in judging local events such as the Stratton, Bromley, Okemo or
even the Mount Snow Competition. Also in the same weekend there
will be a TD (Technical Delegate) clinic. The Eastern Division is in
need of TD's too. This is a great way to learn about the technical
aspects of our competition courses, the safety requirements and how to
run a meet.

Summer
Camps
A
Mount Snow Summer Camp Idea!
The
coaches were thinking of putting together a team weekend trip to Lake
Placid to jump at the US Olympic Training Center sometime this
summer. It would be a great opportunity for athletes to
learn new aerial maneuvers on trampolines as well as off the water
ramps. More information will follow this is just an idea now.
Summer
camps On-Snow
After
speaking with Evan Dybvig I would highly recommend his camp at Mount
Hood, CA, Camp
Revolution.
Like myself Evan believes that to progress in Moguls and Big Air you
need to have a solid foundation of technique. For additional
information on Camp Revolution go to www.camprevolution.com.

There
are other great camps to attend also at Mount Hood and Whistler, BC.
Another Great
Camp
Freestyle
America run by Nick and Suzi Preston from Waterville Valley run two
camps for freestyle competitors. One is a Trampoline Camp held at
their Mountain Fare Inn where athletes learn basic tumbling skills,
inverted aerial maneuvers and off axis aerial maneuvers on
trampolines. They also run week long camps at the US Olympic
Training Center Where athletes learn inverted and off axis aerial maneuvers
jumping into a pool. for more info see www.freestyleamerica.com
or call Nick and Suzi Preston at (603) 726-8088.
