Hello MAST Family! It feels so great to be back on the snow! The conditions have been excellent despite the white squall on Wednesday evening. Our first Supplemental Training is coming up this Saturday. Links to sign up are below, along with some additional details on what to expect, which can be especially helpful for our new athletes. *Please make an extra effort to read every item in this Update to make sure you’re not missing anything. We will be so happy when we don’t have to say the word ‘waiver’ again. ;) Coaches Corner Keep working hard on the fundamentals as we practice on snow early this season. Each drill has a specific purpose that will help you to excel in skiing, especially when we get into slalom courses. I know these first few weeks can feel tedious as you are anxious to get into gates, but I encourage you to persevere knowing that the hard work we put in now matters and will pay off as we progress through the season. (coach Matthew) Continue to focus on each run, each turn, each movement in building your fundamentals. We have lots of skiing over the next 3 days so keep your boots dry, eat healthy, study hard and tune your skis. We have been cleared to set gates on Monday so we will keep you posted on the need for shin guards. Keep working hard! ACTION ITEMS IN THIS UPDATE:
