Written by Team Summit on . Posted in Archive 2020.

Snowboard Updates – January 31, 2020 Hey Team, Contest season is about to get rolling.  There will be some ups and downs over the next 5-6 weeks.  It is difficult on a team like this because when one kid has a good day it is usually at the expense of a teammate or friend.  In the low times it is easy to blame someone else.  It is important to remember that everyone, coaches, officials, judges, and mountain personal, are out there to help the kids be better...
