Big Mountain Update – 1/9-1/15 *WITH WEEKEND TIMES
There's a bit more snow in the forecast. While the heaviest amounts won't be around our parts, it looks like some of our future destinations will continue to pick up a fair amount of snow. The skiing is coming around, but there's still plenty of danger.
This past weekend we saw some bigger airs open up, but it's still Colorado in early January. Please always scope the landings before hitting any airs. This is the time of year where any injuries likely will result in missing competitions, so let's keep the fuzzy side up out there.

This is truly a first for us. (Normally college juniors take these spots and it is extremely unusual that a HS...

General Notes
I'm amazed by this group right now. The talent level is pretty ridiculous, so let's keep up the strong work and growth mindset. If you're going to miss a training – which I sincerely hope you don't – please communicate this with me. The season is long, but not that long.
I've taken some extra steps this year to make a more well-rounded academy program, and focus on our total development...

Good Afternoon-
December is on the horizon, and so is some snowfall. Models are looking pretty good for some snow at our local mountains, so hopefully we can step into the upcoming weekend with more terrain!
We will continue with our time at Copper, as I think we've actually had some pretty incredible training opportunities ranging from the park to some limited openings. We'll be adding a little more to our agenda (more on that below)
Schedule
12/3 Copper 9AM – 3PM
Austin & Kieran groups meet at base of SuperBee 9AM
