What a Weekend!

Hi All,

The snow was absolutely amazing this weekend! I believe it redefined the term "Powder Day" on the East Coast! Windham got over a foot and a half of snow - something everyone is definitely happy about going into the Winter Break!

On Saturday, there were only seven racers and we had a "fun day" while we worked on our short radius turns. This was definitely beneficial as the powder is thick and harder to turn on. We all mastered the short radius turn by the end of the day, though!

On Sunday, we had our first race of the season - The Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge! Everyone did well in it and the ASF Race Team won five medals! After the race everyone decided to call it an early day and head home since it was snowing hard and everyone had a long drive ahead of them!

Overall, it was an amazing weekend and I cannot wait for the next one!

Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy Kwanzaa!

LET IT SNOW!

Finals Week

Hi All,

I have just six more days left here in Happy Valley before I head back home to NY! I'm very lucky in that I only have three finals (one this Friday, another on Monday, and the last on Tuesday), so I can go home before a lot of my friends that have finals on Friday night! I finished all of my actual classwork, so I've been studying since Sunday night.

I can't wait to go skiing in 10 days! We have a race in 11 days - the Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge. That should be exciting!

Well, I am going to go finish studying for my final exams, but I will continue to pray for snow so I will have a lot waiting for me when I get back home!

Let it snow!
