This weekend marks the start of the holidays and some bonus training days for the Freeride crew during the week. I know not everyone is out of school to begin the week, but for those who are, you can join us starting Tuesday the 23rd for a regular training day, as well as Wednesday and Friday. Christmas day is an off day, but feel free to get some free riding and skiing in on your own. The following week we will also be meeting Tues, Wed, & Friday with New Year's Day off. Coaches will be asking about your holiday training plans this weekend so if you know your schedule please share it so we can plan our staffing.
There are only a few goal sheets that haven't been turned in yet. Please make sure to get these done and handed in to your coach as soon as possible. We need your input to help you reach your goals.
Saturday the 20th is the first USASA comp of the season, the Deck the Rails Railjam, taking place right outside NYSEF. All athletes must be members of the USASA. You can save $5 on registration by taking care of it online ( here ). Cost is $20 online - Registration/check-in is in the NYSEF Training Center from 11-12, practice starting at noon, comp start at 1pm.
I have started posting volunteer opportunities on the NYSEF Freeride blog - here . Scroll down the page to the blog and you'll see the green & white buttons to the left with links to the Volunteer Spot website. Click on the event you wish to work and look through the job descriptions for the position you want. The descriptions contain duties, start times and approximate end times. I will continue to add more over the next few days.
The weather is looking good for the weekend - mid to upper 20's and mostly sunny - though no new snow in the forecast. The mogul coaches built a kicker and plan to ski in some bumps in the morning, I spent time shoveling and raking out the pump track for the cross racers, and the park crew is creating a new layout for Deck the Rails which will be open to all when the comp is done. Lots going on!
We're all looking forward to another great weekend and a busy holiday break!
