Team Survey Results are In…..Here’s what you think

bvsef — Fri, 18 May 2012 18:50:18 +0000

The Team Program surveys seeking to collect member feedback on this season’s teams closed on May 15. As you recall we published two surveys, one for the Race and Race Devo teams and on for the All Mountain/Freeski/Snowboard teams. We had a reasonable response of 25 members between both surveys. Thanks to those who responded!

As in the past, the surveys indicated that some aspects were very positive and some aspects of the teams require improvement. The results and comments from these surveys will be very helpful for the Mountain in developing next season’s team programs. Since BVSEF supports the teams in terms of communication, there are some important action items we can implement to improve in the future.

Let us know what you think….BV Team Program Survey Now Open

bvsef — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:23:13 +0000

At the conclusion of each season, BVSEF collaborates with Bear Valley Mountain to assess the past season’s team programs. We ask that parents and, as appropriate, participants take a few minutes to provide input so that the programs can be improved and continue to meet your needs.

This year we have created two surveys one for the Freeski, Devo and All Mountain teams and one for the Race and Race Devo teams. The surveys are very similar but do differ in several important aspects. If you had participants on several teams, please complete a survey for each participant. For example, if you had one athlete on the Race Devo team and one on the All Mountain Youth Ski (Devo) team complete a survey for each. If one athlete was on the All Mountain Youth Ski team and one was on the All Mountain Youth Board team, complete a survey for both. In some cases, the survey tool may not let you complete a second survey. If this occurs send a email to info@bvsef.org with the subject line “additional survey” and you will be sent a link that will allow additional surveys to be completed.

The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete depending on the extent of your comments. The surveys are anonymous. Click on the survey links below to complete the survey for the team(s) on which your athlete participated.

We will keep the surveys open until May 15 but we encourage your input while the team experience is fresh.

7th Annual Slush Cup…Great Season-ending Event

bvsef — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:06:43 +0000

In an exciting end to the unusual 2011-2012 season, the 7th Annual Slush Cup was a great success on Sunday April 15. With perfect weather, sixty-five competitors competed in their respective categories in the always exciting dual slalom format. There were some very close races such as April Johnson edging out Michelle Morozinski for first place in Female 12 and under Alpine category by just 1/100 of a second.

John Colonias turned in the fastest time of the event with a 20.06 second run beating second fastest time of Patrick Caron by just over 1/10 of a second. But there was not much room for error with young warrior Karl Arvidsson coming in just 2/10 of a second behind at 20.27. Leann Lupo took the honors for the fastest female with a time of 21.39.

Thanks to all who participated and especially those who helped stage the event.

MARCH MADNESS: CENTRAL SERIES FINALE HELD IN BLIZZARD

bvsef — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 00:10:47 +0000

Diminished Bear Valley Squad Steps-up
by Warren Alford

Pinecrest, CA- The final races of the Central Series’ 2012 season were held at Dodge Ridge on Saturday, March 24 and Sunday, March 25. Dodge Ridge did a fantastic job pulling off two days of competitive racing with as good of conditions as could have been hoped for. Bear Valley had a tiny squad, but again took a disproportionate share of the podium space.

Saturday weather held and course was bullet in the a.m., pretty slurpy in the p.m. Sunday started with 6”-8” of fluff that had to be scraped off the course and puking snow. Race officials “hoped” to get one off before dumpage forced cancellation; a sucker window opened in the sky and held long enough for the second run to be held… the storm closed back in as the first fore-runner took the course and the entire second run was held in heavy snow that caused visibility issues, but not enough accumulation to affect the race.

Michelle again took the top spot both days for the J5 Girls. Abby had a nasty crash on Saturday but came back with two solid runs on Sunday for 3^rd. Sarah Pye was 13^th on Saturday and skiing with aggressiveness. Gennady was 2^nd on Saturday and 3^rd on Sunday. Christian was 5^th on Saturday and DNF’d on Sunday. Michael continued to ski well and was 7^th on Saturday and 5^th on Sunday. Sawyer was 4^th on Saturday and came from behind to take 1^st on Sunday. Danny was in 3^rd place after his but had a hard crash on his second run and still managed to finish (without a ski pole) 10^th on Saturday. He moved up to 8^th on Sunday.

In the J6 Boys, Carson was 2^nd both days, Etty was 4^th both days and Jake was 9^th Saturday and 8^th Sunday. Ellianna was 9^th Saturday and 8^th Sunday for the J5 Girls.

The complete top 10 list is as follows

Bear Valley Racers Dominate Top Spot On China Peak Podium
Dodge Ridge Holds On To Central Series Lead

by Warren Alford

Huntington Lake, CA- The China Peak Ski Team hosted the second race of the FarWest Central Series over the March 3-4 weekend and used the home court to their advantage, winning the most points and moving ahead of Bear Valley into second place in the division. Dodge Ridge held on to a slim lead in the overall race for the season title and the coveted “Rasmussen Cup” that is awarded to the highest scoring team at the end of the season. Unofficial point totals are listed below.

J4 Boys

Bear Valley’s Gennady Sytnik had the fastest times both Saturday and Sunday to remain unbeaten in the category this season. Christian Davidson was in the third spot Saturday and had one of the more dramatic ski pre-releases in recent memory on Sunday with his ski arcing so much the binding opened like a trap and launched him.

Michael Fellows was fourth on Saturday but along with Christian, DNF’d on Sunday. John McGrory was talking his way through the course on Saturday, finishing 8^th after getting bucked off at the mid-course bump but came back with a 3^rd place finish Sunday.

Max Wu had a difficult 1^st run Saturday, but a top 10 second run then had a good first run Sunday before a pre-race injury from a collision with a teammate (ok, it was Sawyer) forced him out of the competition.
Team Totals: BV- 92; CP- 84; DR- 13; YWC- 0

J4 Girls

Abby Youngblood (BV) rebounded from a challenging run Saturday wearing borrowed ski boots (certain SUR Award nomination) to win on Sunday laying down the two fastest times and a 4 second advantage over the next fastest racer.

Sarah Pye finished both days unlike a number of other racers and was 17^th on Saturday and 14^th Sunday.
Team Totals: DR- 90; CP- 69; BV- 38; YWC: 0

J5 Boys

Danny Youngblood DQ’d Saturday but grabbed the 5 spot on Sunday with two strong runs Sunday. Sawyer Alford hiked twice in the first run Saturday leaving himself over 20 seconds to make up but managed a 14^th place finish with the second fastest second run. He DNF’d Sunday.

Carson Parco moved up from the J6s for BV into the 9^th place scoring badly needed points for the team on Saturday.
Team Totals: DR- 117; CP- 61; BV- 21; YWC: 0

J5 Girls

Bear Valley’s Michelle Morozinski extended her unbeaten streak this season even thoughthis remains the most competitive category in the Central Series.

Diana McGrory “skied up” into the J5s on Sunday with a 9^th place finish.
Team Totals: CP- 94; DR- 57; BV- 57; YWC: 2

J6/J7Boys

Carson Parco, threw a 360 in the middle of the run Sunday and still managed a top ten finish in the category. 1^st year 6, Etienne Dollar DQ’d Saturday but grabbed the 8^th spot Sunday. 1^st year J6 Jake Shawkey was 6^th on Sunday after taking a short stroll to end up out of the top 10 on Saturday.

J6 Girls

Diana McGrory was 6^th on Saturday while Elianna Dollar, two years younger than any other racer on the circuit, finished 9^th on Saturday and 10^th on Sunday.

You may not have caught this from the competition updates of last week but we have an amazing athlete at Bear Valley in the person of Sawyer Alford. On Sunday January 29th, Bear Valley hosted the Rasmussen Classic USSA sanctioned Slalom race and a Slopestyle Competition. Sawyer entered both events, figuring the timing of the competitions would align perfectly.

So first off Sawyer made his SL run with the event beginning at 10 am. He had a hot run and finished with the second fastest first run time. Alpine racing technical events such as SL are two run races with a break between the runs to reset the course. Sawyer used this opportunity to dash over the the Slopestyle event and put in an excellent performance placing second in the 12 and under Men’s ski division.

Changing back into his race gear, he headed back to the SL course for his afternoon run where he put in another ripping run to place first in the J5 Men’s category.

Congratulations to Sawyer for one stellar day of competitive achievement
