Pit Stop


The stop at Snow King was successful. Scott skied strongly, and despite some baubles was able to score in both Giant Slaloms. He also was .34 off the lead on the final Slalom run. In all he won three J2 Golds. These results, combined with his speed results at Mammoth, made him the top Western qualifier for J2 Nationals next month.


So now we're home for three days before embarking on a 45 day road trip. Scott trained one day, but will rest the remainder of the visit. While he tries to get ahead on schoolwork, I'm doing a full renewal on eight sets of race skis. This is a good chance to reload the bases, polish sidewalls and fine tune the edges. Every race from here out is important.


Being home is great! Naturally, being with Joy is the best, but it's also fun to run into all of the locals as we run errands and so forth. The folks in this town are very supportive of Scott and show genuine interest.
