Alpine Ability and Age Class Update – June 23, 2023
Dear Team Summit Alpine Ability and Age Class Teams and All Alpine Coaches:
Happy Summer!
Another successful Copper June Camp just wrapped up last week with 32 of our 51 rostered Ability athletes and 35 of 66 rostered Age Class athletes participating. Thank you to Copper Mountain for again providing a unique opportunity for our team to train during the off-season. Training at home allows us to increase the all-important time on snow without having the additional expenses of travel, food and lodging!
Final planning is now underway for the 14 athletes enrolled in the Age Class Mt. Hood Camp...
April Athlete of the Month – Trevor Palmquist
Trevor Palmquist, Alpine U12 + U14
He dominated the recent Rocky / Central U14 Championships in Vail. In those races, he won 4 of the 6 races (Super G, Parallel, 2XGS, 2xSL) and was 2nd in the other two. An unprecedented performance. Trevor goes about his business quietly. He is happy and relaxed in his approach. He is a great teammate sharing his thoughts on the set after inspections and coming around with course reports after his race runs. He contributes positively to his teammates and coaches through his actions and the process he exhibits.
SHS Ski/Snowboard Rack Project
Thanks to Patricia Oliver, who’s son attends SHS as a Team Summit Academic Athlete, for getting the SHS Ski/Snowboard Rack project underway with the recommendation of Adam Jones, a skilled woodworker. Adam is consistently invested in our Summit County community, always ready to help and support anyone in need, and one of those individuals who you can regularly count on. Adam worked tirelessly producing two racks by hand for our SHS Academic Athletes. But the project wouldn’t have been complete without the donation of wood that was reclaim from forest service fire mitigation...
Athlete of the Month – March – Walker Robinson
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.
We can't get enough of Walker's infectious energy and unwavering dedication to his craft. He's always pushing himself to be better, both as an individual...

Big Mountain Skiing Update 3/17-3/19
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...
