U16 RACING HIGHLIGHTS

Our most senior team of athletes has been going strong since well before snow hit the slopes.

Over Winter Break we worked on a speed progression to get athletes comfortable racing speed (SG and DH). We spent five days training SG on La Belle. On Jan 9-10 we raced SG at Breckenridge (BreckenFRIDGE!) and then our GS race was cancelled on the 10th due to the cold. My friend from ski racing media was there and interviewed some Eldo athletes for her article about the SYNC series. Click Here to Read it....
