QUOTES
Brita Sigourney
I am so happy right now with my skiing, to come off a knee injury and after having to sit out the rest of the season last year was such a bummer and this is so rewarding. I have been training at the Center of Excellence all summer and fall and it really paid off. I really needed this to help get my confidence back up.

Maddie Bowman
I really want to do well at this event to start my season off right. It was great to be able to try my new 900 and nail it. This takes a bit of early season pressure off and makes me feel good heading into the season. I was working on my amplitutude during the summer and early season training sessions and feel like it’s coming together for me. I am looking forward to the Grand Prix and am hoping to contiue to get better this season.
