Alright, here it is, video... finally! I can't tell you how much of a pain it's been to get the video off of those Canon cameras and into a program that I can even watch them with, much less do anything with. Hours of frustration and wanting to beat my dogs and smoke a cigarette. I just chewed some bubble gum and everything was alright in the end, except that this video is the most bush league, amateur hour, newb abomination ever. But it's something at least. Things should go smoother from here on out though.
Joseph: I just had to! (watch the video) I like the aggression out of the start, we need more of that, seriously.
Josh got the hang of cameraman after the first couple of racers.
Neat 'o gang

Unstoppable
Oh Yes! I love it! (!!!)
Alright, it's official: Sundance Ski Team ain't no one to mess with! We owned once again at Snowbird today (Saturday). My face was just getting used to smiling so much after Brighton, and now it's gonna be even worse after today. Hap Hap Happy!
The girls set us up right with a solid 5th (9th overall) place from Amanda Flanagan and a very respectable 12th place finish from Samantha Brown. Way to go girls! Those J5 chicks are a tough crowd.
Then our boys showed those other team's boys (and girls) what is up. Dillon Flinders is bad a. He finished 10th in the J6's and 24th overall. After that, he went and threw down a massive 20ft 360. Hard Core.
Hunter Flinders led our J5's in 3rd (14th overall) and Kendall W. Harris brought home his first medal with a solid 10th place. Hunter also threw down some big 3's and aaaalmost got a 540. Kendall tried some 3's, but got beat down. You'll get 'em man. River Linebaugh finished in a very nice 17th position.
We had 3 J4's in the top ten! Joseph Prososki finished 7th (17th overall), Adam Brown killed it in fourth place, and my main man Peyton Baymiller took the day as number 1 (again)! Adam also finished 4th overall, and P.J. once again had the fastest time of the day by 0.46 seconds. If that wasn't enough, P.J. went and hucked a hugely perfect 540, Ain't no thang! Sorry dude, but I gotta brag a little.
Do the math: that's 7 medals. We had 14 athletes at the race. 50% brought home medals! 7 athletes in the top 10, and 11 in the top 20. 4 in the top 20 overall. That's freaking awesome in my book. Just like the Wu-Tang Clan, we ain't no one to mess wit'.
I would have some footage of this crispy fresh ownage, but my computer that has all the editing software decided to not startup anymore. It is being repaired as I type so hopefully I will have it ready to go tomorrow. If any of you parents have footage, please let me know so we can get it on here stat!
Thank you all for another successful race day! Our kids get the props first, then the parents. You guys are the best and none of this would be happening without you, literally.
Our next YSL race is the Brian Head Champs on the 14th and 15th of March. I hope everyone can make it down there for that. It is a very fun race, and we are sure to dominate once again. Get a place to stay soon, they sell out quick down there.
We also have our South Series Champs on the 7th and 8th of March at Brighton. I will send an email soon to those that are eligible.
Peace!

Still Here
I apologize for slacking on the updates. I am having computer difficulties with our cameras and they don't want to work with Mac.
We have an Avalanche Awareness class this Friday at 4:30 at the Nature Yurt. Please show up and bring whoever may be interested in learning the basics of staying alive. Bring snacks and goodies if you feel so inclined.
We also have a YSL race this Saturday at Snowbird. We are full of confidence after the Brighton domination, so Snowbird should be a piece of cake.
I hope everyone has been enjoying all of the fresh snow lately, it's been ridiculous.

It snows over there too?
Here's a little something from a little movie called 'Real Time.' Just to hold us over till the next storm. You know how you can't see the skiers? Ya, that's snow, not compression fuzz from YouTube. Not to rub it in, but that's how it was at Alta last week, hehe.
