Athlete of the Month – March – Walker Robinson

Written by Team Summit on . Posted in Athlete Of The Month.

  We are thrilled to introduce our outstanding athlete of the month, the one and only Walker Robinson! As a member of the ski cross team, Walker has been absolutely killing it on the NorAm circuit, leaving his competitors in the dust. But it's not just his talent on the slopes that sets him apart – it's his positive attitude, strong work ethic, and genuine care for his teammates that make him a true superstar.

Big Mountain Skiing Update 3/17-3/19

Written by Team Summit on . Posted in big mountain skiing.

Congrats to all of you that competed at Abasin, I saw some really great moments from every competitor.  Even though I was not coaching, I was able to watch everybody's runs. Rolling into this weekend, we have a slight conflict with the Breck National.  This event will drain a fair amount of our coaching resources to support the athletes competing, but we'll still offer some training on Saturday and Sunday for those that want to make the trip to Breck on Saturday and Sunday. Schedule 3/16 – No Training 3/17 – No Training (SMS/SHS no school) 3/18 – Breck...

Athlete of the Month – February – James Sowers

Written by Team Summit on . Posted in Athlete Of The Month.

James has had 100% perfect attendance over the last 30 days. While he has always been a dedicated athlete, he has stepped up his commitment over the last 12 months. After attending JNs for the first time last year and while also as a SkiMeister (racing both Alpine and Nordic).  This achievement (100% attendance) is after having a serious crash on roller skis and being out for several weeks with a concussion this past fall.
