Any Divas with kids in alpine race teams?
My DD10 and DD12 started racing this year after being on development teams and wow, the intensity is cranked up! They are starting with Tahoe Race Series instead of the more demanding Far West league. The number of skis have grown exponentially with SL, GS, and SG skis. SL and GS poles. Race boots. Chin bars, shin guards, and spine protectors, oh my! We've had to miss some school days for "pre-race training". At least my DD10/12 are enjoying the experience and have never complained about team.
Any Divas want to share their experiences or tips/tactics on how to manage all the gear ($), travel ($$), etc.? Also, my DH and I are thinking of a summer ski camp at Mt. Hood and Keely's has caught our eye. Any thoughts on this camp or summer skiing in general?
Thanks!
