The weekend of April 12 & 13 marked the last SCCSC race weekend of the season. Competitions included slopestyle and skier/boarder cross events. USC took home 4 top 8 spots in skier/boarder X and had 8 participants in the slopestyle event. Chris Farro and Alex Clarey of USC took home first and second place for skier slopestyle.

We're all friends on the SCCSC!

Thanks to UCSB for hosting a great tailgate and party. Getting everyone together on a sunny afternoon was definitely a good time.

We had a great season and are looking forward to next year already.

Next year we'll have clips of the week, so we thought we'd start now with a video recap of the weekend.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone, thanks for coming out to the meeting to show your support for the team and the officers.

Let me give a big congratulations to all those who ran and want to be a part of the team. We'll be implementing some new things next year so we'll have plenty of ways people can get involved with the running of the team.

Here are the new officers for the 2008/2009 year -

President: Kristen Kamei

This is a reminder that there is a team meeting on Tuesday, February 5th at 8pm in the Lyon Center Cardinal Room. We want to remind everyone that team meetings are mandatory and we want all of you to make your best efforts to make it out. We will be discussing several issues and giving an update on the season thus far and what we can expect for the remainder of the season.

Thanks and we'll see you this week!

The USC ski and snowboard team has been out on the Mammoth slopes working hard and giving the SCCSC league all we've got. Some new faces on the team this year are proving to rack in serious points to get USC the rank it wants by the end of the year. Pictured above are USC racers Sam Kislevitz, Alex Clarey, Mike Chen, and Adam Kleinart gearing up for a morning of shredding thegiant slalom race course.

This year we have been fortunate enough to get pounded with snow all throughout the month of January while keeping the races going strong when the storms subside. It's just about halfway through the race season and the team is still amped and ready to rock the last 4 race weekends, which last through the end of March. If anyone is interested in attending a race at Mammoth, the ski & snowboard team welcomes it and would always love to see the support. Please contact us uscsnowsports@gmail.com for the remaining times and locations of races on the hill.

Eleven brave souls have hunkered down inside the team cabin for what is being billed as the biggest storm in years. Forecasters have been tossing around snow totals anywhere from 6-12 FEET. It looks like the brunt of the storm is about to hit Mammoth, bringing estimated snowfall rates of up to 8" per hour and winds topping over 140MPH.


We have set up a webcam onto the driveway of the team cabin and will be updating it as long as the power stays on. We will also be recording a time-lapse for those of you who missed it:


We will keep all of you posted with condition updates as the storms march on through.
