Nina Schamberger – 9th (7th American) Kai Oppito – 203 Roan Varble – 222 Full results are here: https://my.raceresult.com/229649/results What is outstanding is that Nina was the #1 junior in the country (Not first U18 – but first U20/U18). This has (as far as I know) never happened in the history of SNSC. This is truly a first for us. (Normally college juniors take these spots and it is extremely unusual that a HS aged...

Written by Team Summit on December 5, 2022. Posted in big mountain skiing.

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 rather...
