Devos: The Devo Team had a fantastic month, highlighted by the Hot Cocoa Cup to finish it off! Our athletes have been focusing on developing their slalom skills, with an emphasis on short-radus turns and improving balance on their skis. It’s been great to see the progress everyone is making. These skills will carry over nicely as we shift our focus toward the Good Vibes Only Freeride Comp coming up at the end of March. We’re excited to keep building momentum and see the athletes apply what they’ve been learning in a fun new environment.

Making the Most of the Moment If you haven’t noticed, we are in a “low tide” scenario across the West. Camps and early-season races are being delayed or pivoting because Mother Nature hasn’t been on our side. The most important message? Be patient; things will change! In the meantime, we are taking full advantage of…
