Speed Camp Cancelled!


What’s up world, this year a catastrophe occurred in Aspen, the annual Aspen speed camp was canceled! Well it wasn’t a really big deal, but some of the kids that came from other areas were disappointed because they drove 8 hours for speed training on the J3 qualifier hill. In the end we got to run sections, we didn’t get to run the most important parts because of the lack of snow, but it is my home hill, so not running the course isn’t as big of a deal to me as it was for other people, but practice would be nice. All and all the week was a successful week of training because we got to run some GS and Slalom.

My first points race was a while ago and it wasn’t my best weekend, or even close, but it was good for my points. I finished every run and made the flip 30 both times. I didn’t walk away with any shiny medals but I'm glad to kiss 2009 good bye, and now I’m hoping to start in the first 100 next race.

See you next blog!

SRD's VanHee Wins Topolino Shootout!


Kendall VanHee here:) just got done with the Topolino shootout! I was up against 21 of the best girls in the Rocky and Central division for J3's and the race was held on my home hill, Vail, Colorado. First day of GS I came in second by .17 seconds so I wasn't far off. Next day was slalom and that was a fun day! First run I put it down and won it by .44 seconds.

My overall time was 88.50 and the next girl in second had a 91.39. Also I would have received third place in the men's. I won the Topo trials and I am super excited to be in Italy in early March (or late February). This weekend was very fun and I am awaiting my visit to Europe:) Ciao!
