Molly Leavens attends Western Flight School

I have spent the last week at Mount Bachelor with the Western Region Flight School. I qualified for this camp from my results at Western Region juniors Champs (commonly known as JOs).

We spent the six days of camp on our Super G skis going over jumps and learning to move over terrain. We started off with ‘phantom jumps’. Phantom jumps are set up like a jump but there is not actually a jump. This helped us get comfortable with our movement patterns and timing before getting any air. We also did a lot of work with rollers to learn how to absorb terrain with our legs while keeping our upper bodies quiet.

It was snowing one of the days but other then that, it was great weather with good snow conditions. By going to this camp, I am invited to a speed camp in Copper Mountain late next fall.
