divWe had a beautiful day for the Weston Eastern Cups. Temps in the mid to upper 20’s, plenty of snow and wide trails made for a perfect double race day./divdivIn the morning there was a sprint preliminary and in the afternoon there were mass start races./divdivWith 4 of our skiers off on USST trips, it was interesting to see who would step up to lead the group. No worries, 5 of the 8 kids we had racing made the podium :)/divdivMany thanks to Amie Smith and all of the CSU race crew for putting on two first class races./diva onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbCop9F6kI/AAAAAAAAGQQ/fDilnaiGAQw/s1600/Ty_DSC9983.jpg”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 228px;” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbCop9F6kI/AAAAAAAAGQQ/fDilnaiGAQw/s320/Ty_DSC9983.jpg” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568351993002846786″ //aTyler and Hammish cruised the mass start race playing cat and mouse..then Hammish put the hammer down and nipped Tyler in a great finish.br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbCbuOLpNI/AAAAAAAAGQI/uz9_n4mZ8NQ/s1600/Scott_M_DSC9905.jpg”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbCbuOLpNI/AAAAAAAAGQI/uz9_n4mZ8NQ/s320/Scott_M_DSC9905.jpg” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568351770809967826″ //aScott M came down for a little EC experience and skied well.br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbCSJaqtQI/AAAAAAAAGQA/Jwo15msSGVA/s1600/S_M_Waxing_DSC9839.jpg”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbCSJaqtQI/AAAAAAAAGQA/Jwo15msSGVA/s320/S_M_Waxing_DSC9839.jpg” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568351606311400706″ //aCoaches doing their coach thing.br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbCKvSeKbI/AAAAAAAAGP4/_K3A61qzZUg/s1600/Rachel_DSC0119.jpg”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 253px; height: 320px;” src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbCKvSeKbI/AAAAAAAAGP4/_K3A61qzZUg/s320/Rachel_DSC0119.jpg” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568351479038618034″ //abr /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbB1nN4fDI/AAAAAAAAGPw/YnjWj_lCVEc/s1600/Rachel_DSC0163.jpg”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 162px;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/TUbB1nN4fDI/AAAAAAAAGPw/YnjWj_lCVEc/s320/Rachel_DSC0163.jpg” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568351116094635058″ //aRachel worked hard and had a good day.
