Howdy team,
Our first Granite Peak invite is this Saturday the 12th of January. Hurray! This is technically our first race. It is very important for all of us to attend practice all this week and work really hard on our technique. Coach Jason and Josh advise us to prepare both physically and mentally and remembering to take it seriously but also having FUN.
Be prepared:
- for all kinds of weather and conditions
- pictures
- a time trial run
- remember to go back to your missed gates in order to avoid disqualification
- sharing the course (with other racers) during the race
- having a good time
All in all here's how its going to go down:
There will be a mandatory practice on Thursday the 10th. Remember to give your emergency contact card to coach Josh.
On Friday, our D.C. Everest comrade, David, is hosting a "sharp'n'wax party". Tuning edges and waxing boards and skis are both really good before a race. If you need more info about the event ask the host during one of the upcoming practices.
Saturday morning, we are expected to be on the hill and ready to go at 8:00 AM. (Right on time for first chair).
Best of luck to all and keep warm!
