Week 3: 12/20-12/21

Written By Gen Penn-Fitz

Hi Mogul Family!

We had another awesome weekend of bump turns, rut lines, some powder, and homemade treats on a lift. This weekend, there will be a thaw/freeze cycle, so please have athletes dress accordingly for the weather. We plan to be on Inferno, but the weather may alter this plan.

USSS Memberships:  If you haven't already, please go to https://www.usskiandsnowboard.org/public-tools/account, create an account, and obtain a freestyle competitor membership. When it asks you for an Eastern Region, select EQS/B Central Region.  We only have a few weeks left before we need to register for the first meet, so please don't delay!

The Killington B Competition Schedule Is Out: The event sheet for the Killington Comp has been updated. They are running Men & Women on Friday, Men on Saturday, and Women on Sunday.

Long-term Athlete Development Phases:  In our meeting, we talked about the different phases of the Long-term Athlete Development where our athletes are in Phases II to V. Here is a link to the details (... but grab a coffee before you read it because there's a ton of info and analysis)  https://www.usskiandsnowboard.org/sites/default/files/files-resources/files/2017-11/Freeski%20Training%20Systems%2011-16-17_1.pdf

Team Rutt Jackets and Patches:  Huge thanks to Rachel Stier for taking the lead on the team Jacket and Patches.  From Rachel: "My personal observation is that the jacket runs a little long overall and pretty narrow in the waist/chest. I would size up one size if anyone is concerned about the waist/chest, BUT definitely consult the sizes on the RUTT website because it shows how the size differences are about 4 inches each per dimension." If interested, please check out the link and put your order in so we can get the order completed for the Killington Comp. Here is the link to the Rutt Jacket and a few pics are below: https://forms.gle/Rhbjen3wXWir1Kh67
