FROM YOUR PRESIDENTTed Rutherford
Greetings fellow AmericanAirlines Ski & SnowboardTeam Members.
Hi Gang!Sorry to miss you all in Tahoe; it sounds like you all had fun and kickedbutt! I did some recon in Crested Butte, and they are finally gettingsnow, and will be in great shape by the time we get there in the end ofMarch. The “Outer Limits”(AKA North Face, Paradise Headwall, ect.)as they called it has finally received enough snow to open up. I talkedto the VP of Marketing, and they are psyched to have NAASF back inCB! I also talked to one of the race course managers, Kurt Olsen(from Steamboat, former Ski racer/classmate at Western State). Hesaid that he would take care of us on the race course, and to let himknow if we needed anything… We are less than 2 weeks away fromshoving off for Kitzbühel!
Jen and I can’t wait to see you all!Very Respectfully, Ted
FROM YOUR VicePRESIDENTNathan Green
Hello Boarders and Skiers,
Hello Everyone,
Last week at Heavenly was a “Win-ter” Blast!! Although there wassome skepticism regarding snow conditions... the weather was on ourside and the temperature remained cold enough to preserve theexisting snow. A special thanks to Mike Williams for being a awesomeroom mom and setting up the team dinner at Harrahs. Also, thanks toall of the participants and supporters/cowbell-ringers of the racingevents. FYI, we are in 1st place ahead of United in the race for the2018 NAASF Cup, but we will need all the participation andsupport we can get at Crested Butte if we want to win!

FROM YOUR "A" TeamCaptainMike Williams
Bjorn, KJ, and Mark scored some nice points for the A men. We only
Bjorn, KJ, and Mark scored some nice points for the A men. We onlyhad one participant for the women. Louise!!! Without her we wouldhave a very small lead for the A cup.
Thanks Louise!Delta beat us for the weekOverall we have a large lead but without participation the lead canshrink quickly. We need more than one A women racer at CrestedButte.Greg Performed admirably for his first race in the A bracket and ourother new A Racer needs to know how to go thru the first gate, justjabbing you Craig.Crested Butte has lots of snow and I know that it is hard to getKitzbuhel and Crested Butte off in the same month , but we need allskiers to show up if they can.Let’s all have fun in Kitzbuhel and Crested Butte. SKI FAST
GO TEAAM...Mike
FROM YOUR "B" TeamCaptainBob Antal
WOW!!! Great showing by B TEAAM skiers!
Heavenly at Tahoe turned out to be a challenging venue, and thecourse conditions held up very well for both GS and Slalom. For ourladies, Jana Sinn, Laurie Hanson and Carol Kerr turned in stellarperformances. Julie Molano continues to improve at each event! Ourmen were outstanding as well, led by Jim Hershey(bar), EricKowalski, Nathan Green(our VP), Rick Reinsch, Don Oakes, SteveAmoia, me, John Quinn, John Baldwin, and Larry Stubbs. We arestoked to have new racers: Jeff Burrows and Rick Morgan. Ron
stoked to have new racers: Jeff Burrows and Rick Morgan. RonHyslop rounded us out with a strong effort. By the way, JimHershey(bar) skied to an excellent 2nd place in both GS and Slalom!Congratulations Sir! Jana Sinn roared to 2nd in the GS races for theladies! Congratulations Jana!
If you’re interested (as I am) in becoming a better skier and fasterracer, included are a couple of book titles which are very helpful:
The Athletic Skier by Warren Witherell and
Ultimate Skiing by Ron LeMaster.
They’re available on Amazon. Both books are well illustrated withgreat coaching tips. Additionally, there’s a plethora of videos onYouTube regarding Slalom and GS training. If you’d like links to someof those, please shoot me an email.
Following the international event in Austria, Crested Butte will be ourfinal race of the season, I hope you can make it. Crested Butte is afantastic mountain with friendly people and a cool Western ski town.Yahoo!!
