First Race Day!!

What a crazy day it was on Saturday! Frigid cold and our first race of the season. I am so proud of our girls.
Once we got out on the slopes, we slipped the course to scout out what it looked like and how to strategically go through it. Most of us were numb by the bottom of that so we went in until we had to go back up for our race slot. We arrived just in time to race and the girls didn't have to stand around to get cold and nervous. Everyone looked really good! After the race, most of the team skied a run over at Strawberry Park lift because Centennial was having issues. It turned out to be one of the best of the season so far. We started off on President Ford's run and then ended up on a nice black called Stacker. The girls skied it so well! There were bumps and some steep sections, and the snow was soft. Congrats to Kamryn who made a wonderful breakthrough on that run!
By now, we were pretty chilled, so we went in to McCoys for lunch. We had some time until our next run, but as we swung by to check out the course we realized that we could make our second run earlier than scheduled. This was good because the course was just going to get more icy. Everyone finished that race and looked good, despite the firmer conditions. Most of the girls peeled off with their parents so Matt and I ended up skiing with Kaia and MacKenzie over at Redtail (freezing!) and Centennial.
Congratulations to Charlie for her 1st and 4th place in the race!! Sofia finished with a 9th and 11th place. Amazing for the first race! I will email the document that has all of the results. I did not get any photos because they were moving so fast! Again, I am proud of the entire team.
