It was great to be home for the holidays. We had eight days in Sandpoint with no on-snow training. Scott free skied all week with his sister and their friends, ice skated a bunch, and generally relaxed. The only exception was daily strength training, plus three days of physical therapy with his trainer.
But vacation is over. Today we drove through a storm to Jackson, WY to begin preparation for another competition window. Scott has seven tech (Slalom and Giant Slalom) races in the next nineteen days. We're going to train here with the Jackson Hole Ski Team for three days, then relocate to Park City to train with their team on the race venue. The idea is to gradually get his timing sharp and readjust to the harder snow.
We've adjusted the schedule and eliminated several more races to increase the recovery and training windows throughout the season. He still has 50 starts, but the schedule flows better. The idea is to still be fresh and hungry by the end of the season.

Thanks for the help at NASTAR over your break. Can't wait to hear more about Scott. Very happy to see these sites, I always feel out of the loop down here in Moscow. Now I have a way of staying in touch.
