Freeride Update - Results and Upcoming Events

Well, winter is still deciding what to do but we're moving forward with events here and all over the country.

I want to thank everyone who came out and helped with our USSA "A" Eastern Moguls event, the Whiteface Bumps & Jumps, this past weekend. The course was solid but the temps helped us out as it warmed up throughout the weekend. Former NYSEF skier Abe Studler placed 3rd both days and 3rd overall. Good job Abe! Erik Sparkowski also showed that a big man can ski bumps!

Kevin Brousseau just returned from training and competition at Copper Mt, CO with the Ski Cross team and reports some great results. In two Rocky Mt regional USASA events KC Brousseau, racing in Open class, took 2nd both days while Matt Brady took 5th. Brian Corcoran(NSA), racing in his age class, took a 2nd and a 1st. The following week racing in the Nor-Am at Copper, KC had the fastest time trial by almost 1 second and came away with 13th place overall while Matt took 26th. Nice work guys! Next up for them is the USSA Revolution Tour in Otsego, MI followed by the US Grand Prix at The Canyons, UT.
