The second week here is always a lot of fun. Old friends start to show up... the friends we don't see all summer. Scott's run into a number of kids from our Division, plus a few friends from others. I likewise have seen several coaches I know from the circuit. The place gets crowded too. The only safe place is slipping a course or racing.
Today was a great one for Scott. We set Giant Slalom the full-length of the hill, connecting two training lanes. His focus today was to see how deep he could run the line without losing everything else. His first run was clean and fast, then he started running a little deeper (starting the turn lower relative to the gate) each run. By the fourth run he had shaved 2 seconds off a 61 second course -- significant. So tomorrow he'll continue to work on this and find the break point where aggression kills speed. I've attached a photo from today, plus posted some of todays film footage on YouTube. Check it out!
