Hello Eastern Freestyle!

Just a few notes:

• Larry Rowe and other parents and programs have provided several more links to photos that they have taken this winter. Please find them here.
• The ECS bibs are recycled every year. Please save yours in a safe spot. New A skiers that compete at the Killington Spring Klassic on April 9 to 11 will be assigned their bibs on site.
  
• Anyone want to run a spring ECS freeride event??
  
• Chris Marks, Head Coach at Okemo Mountain School, has a request to the community to help one of his athletes that is trying to win a film/ski competition. Unfortunately, the competition is sponsored by a beer company which obviously we do not promote in freestyle, but if you feel comfortable allowing your child to watch the video on youtube in order to support Dale Talkington, then please do so. The more viewers he receives the better his chances to win $10,000. The video is phenomenal!! Here is the link: click here.

EQS Eastern Region Spring Event, Whaleback Shoot-Out (moguls), March 13th:

Giddy Up!

Okay, Eastern program directors, coaches and athletes: Whaleback needs you!
 
We have the course, the snow, and the commitment to get it done with points for next season for all your young shredders. Whaleback is a great venue for parents to watch their kids. So rassle up them young buckaroos, rope them if you have to, and herd them over to Whaleback for the Spring ShootOut this Saturday, YeeeHaaaa!!!! (You were supposed to read that last sentence with a western drawl.)
 
Hope to see you all this weekend. Peace. ~Evan

PS Coaches session on the course after the event. Word on the street is that the Legend, Alex Wilson, is doing a little east coast nostalgia tour and is dropping in for our event, and he already challenged me to a dual. (Alex and Evan graduated from KMS together, made the US Team together and have a long standing rivalry!)

EQS Western Regional Finals, Whiteface, NY (ss/a, moguls):

EQS Championships, Holiday Valley, NY (slopestyle, moguls, aerials):

Next weekend is the big weekend of the year for our EQS skiers. Please check out the event sheet that is posted online. There is a ton of VERY SPECIFIC information in there in respect to registration locations, training times and how alternates will be dealt with.

Invitations for this event will be out on Monday, March 15th. Please respond in a timely manner so we can move down the alternate list as QUICKLY as possible!! This needs to be a team effort - if you see a team member that has not responded right away thencall, text or book them! We could get the whole invite list done in one night if everyone registers for or declines their invite immediately.

Enjoy the spring skiing this weekend!
