Report From The Czech Republic..... or Aspen




Hi everyone. This is my first blog entry in a long time. I've been very busy with school and races. I've been having a fun season so far and just got back from one of my favorite races. The Prater Cup in Crested Butte which is the J4 JO qualifier for the Rocky Mountain Division. They have lots of activities besides the races. My favorite is the country teams. Every kid is assigned to a country team and you can earn points for your team with good race results or by showing good sportsmanship and team spirit. They have some really cool prizes for the winning teams. I was on the Czech Republic Team and we didn't win anything, but it was still fun. I think it's really cool because it allows some of the kids that don't qualify for JO's to still get a chance to win something.

I did better in the races than my country team did. I got a 1st in slalom and a third in GS. This gives me a first seed for JO's so I'm pretty excited for Winter Park.

I'm also think it's really cool that SRD is leading in the competition with the Speedfreaks. Go SRD and good luck to everyone the rest of the season.
