We'll be there in the AM. Going to be pretty soft I bet. Thats alright, wet snow can be fast snow.

We are planning to be there. I have a 14y/o racing and a 17y/o forerunner. They're both pretty excited to ride a noram course.

Fin, I'll take #F. Please PM with how to proceed. Thanks!

Are these still available? Please let me know, Im in Wisco

Great topic, great discussion. I have 2 kids that hardboot, I am very fortunate. Here is my secret: Teach passion first, passion will always triumph over ability. Once they have passion for something, the rest comes easy. Let them race if they want to, support them if they decide to free carve, teach them until you run out of talent, then support. Think outside the box and do things your own way, be creative to get where you want. The opportunities are out there if you have the passion to find them. It doesn't take a go fund me account to grow passion in this sport. Both my kids race. They've done Nastar, Highschool and USASA racing. While I support alpine racing 100%, I have reservations on the structure and focus. While racing of all types is huge in my household, it has also been very damaging. Both my kids have walked away from other types of racing due to their successes. When being number one becomes more important then enjoying the ride, your days are numbered. You can't win forever and all to often when the winning ends so does the participation. Keeping things fun, light and creative keeps that flame lit. Please take a moment to check out my 13yo first attempt at a gopro video of carving, see if you can see the passion

We are going to Cascade this Sunday for some carving. Come if you can!
