The towers are appearing!

The Westside 6 towers are getting installed! On Friday, they started to bring the towers up the mountain for installation. They continued the process today despite the challenging weather and extremely wet terrain. They have the seven towers in place and two of the towers are complete! It won't be long before we are loading the Westside 6!




In other news, I sent an email this week with a call to action for people to register for the program! For all returning registrations received on, or after December 1st, there will be a late fee of $300.00. For coaches and employees, please contact me or Victoria in Franz's office to make sure we account for your athletes in the planning process. It is crucial that we have accurate numbers when staffing each age group within our program. Thank you for registering and allowing the WRF staff to plan ahead for the season!

February Flyby!

Image
I know February is the shortest month, but it's hard to believe that we just flew through the final weekend of the month. It's seems that not long ago we were preparing for the first weekend of program with our coaches clinic. The remainder of Flex Week Training was incredible. We had a perfect surface for the high volume days we wanted to offer our athletes. The coaching staff saw great progress throughout the week with all of our athletes running double sessions. The U14/16/19 teams trained GS and SL each day while our U8/10/12 athletes worked on free skiing skills and drills in the morning, followed by an afternoon training session with a different style set each day. Our athletes have come so far under the guidance of the coaching staff. It was amazing watching the final Mini World Cup yesterday and seeing how much the athletes have progressed since our first MWC. This season we put an added focus on using the MWC as a learning environment not just for the athlet

Holiday training madness!

Image
Holiday training has commenced! The conditions are leaning slightly to the side of variable around the mountain but with some cold nights coming up for snowmaking, I think we will have some improved conditions when we return for training on the 26th! We had a great weekend with a large portion of our program on snow Saturday and Sunday. Monday saw our numbers thin a bit, but we were still a presence on the hill with groups continuing to work on their fundamental base. Warm Up has officially been dubbed "The Glacier," due to the perfect, (super) firm surface. The kids have been making laps either in training environments or working on free skiing drills and we are so grateful to have The Glacier exclusively for our program. When doing slow speed drills, it is so great to be in a safe and enclosed environment without the risk of collisions with the public. Riding with legendary, Franz Krickl! Perfection Sinead made an appearance on The Glacier!

Welcome to the Windham Race Factory blog! We will be posting weekend recaps every Monday providing a rundown and pictures of WRF happenings throughout the season. To receive the blog notifications via email, click "SUBSCRIBE" at the top of the page. Here is our first entry… TOUGHER! STRONGER! FITTER! FASTER! The WRF Fall Weekend kicked off in style with an amazing opportunity for our athletes. Caroline Mutter was the catalyst to have Olympian Doug Lewis, founder of ELITEAM, come to Windham to run our athletes through a one-day dryland clinic. Doug has created a dryland camp/clinic empire and we were fortunate enough to have him at Windham to show us what it truly means to be, “Tougher! Stronger! Fitter! Faster!” Doug's passion for ski racing and working with young athletes is extremely evident in the way he runs the clinic. For those of you who were here to witness him work, I am sure you will agree that his energy is second to none! The athletes were put thr
