Athlete of the Month – Dylan Smith
Athlete of the Month – Dylan Smith
Dylan is a positive, responsible and caring young man who happens to also be an outstanding ski racer. He had an early-season injury that kept him out for over a month. In just his second race weekend of his season, after returning from an injury and five-week layoff, Dylan qualified for the RMD Team to the Rocky / Central Regional U16 Championships.
More important than this outstanding athletic achievement, Dylan embodies the club's core values daily. His attendance at training is the highest among the team...

Bar Patterns Part 5: Romanian Deadlift
Bar Patterns: Romanian Deadlift
Part 5 in the series
Grasp the bar with a clean grip. This is determined by having your fingers just outside of your shoulders while the bar is resting on the front of your shoulders like you are setting up for a front squat (this is also called the “rack position”). Begin with the bar hanging in front of your hips and standing with your feet hip-width apart. This next piece might sound like an optional step, but it is paramount when it comes to performing the Olympic Lifts properly as we progress into explosive lifting. Hold the bar with a...

It has been a crazy competition season. We have more kids traveling to more places for contests, more kids doing well at contests, and unfortunately, more contests getting canceled than ever before. The effort that our families, athletes, parents, and sometimes grandparents put into making a successful snowboard season is remarkable. The Team and the coaches can not thank our membership enough for all of the support. The craziness continues for a few more weeks. The Big mountain Crew will head to Taos...

Ken Jones Family Fund
Supporting the Whole Community
Team Summit Colorado's vision of whole athlete | whole team | whole community is what we live by. On December 6th, 2019 Ken Jones of Summit Fire & EMS passed away fighting a fire at Copper Mountain. As a community partner, the Firemen were scheduled to run our valet parking for Ski Ball the next day to help them raise money for their department but had to cancel after the accident.
At Ski Ball, we held a 50/50 raffle where we raised $1,500 and the winner of the raffle was Tony and Kelly Pestello who own ifurnish. They donated the $750 back to...
Bar Patterns Part 4 – Overhead Squat
Bar Patterns Part 4 – Overhead Squat
Grasp the bar with a snatch grip. To find your snatch grip hold the bar at waist level with locked-out elbows. Slowly adjust your grip in or out, while still maintaining straight arms, until the bar hangs at the height of your crease (The crease is the point where your upper leg joins together with your torso. The line that is formed here in your hips is the crease). Be sure you have an even grip on the bar, you do not want the bar either off to the left nor the right. With this grip, press the bar overhead and balance it over your ears. It is...
