Golf to Support Rocky Mountain Division
The 23rd Annual RMD Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, October 3, at Pole Creek Golf Course in Grand County. This event supports the Gold Medal Initiative for the Rocky Mountain Division of U.S. Ski & Snowboard, with proceeds offsetting the cost for projects like ski jumping/nordic combined trips to Europe, freestyle All-Star projects, and alpine skills camps. SSWSC athletes have participated in and benefitted from nearly every single project the Gold Medal Initiative has supported. There are usually some skiing celebrities at this event, last year, Bode Miller greeted every team and took shots with them on a hole! Don’t miss this year’s event, and a great chance to support the athletes! CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.

OLIVER DALZELL - Athlete of the Week
Presented by Alpine Bank
|
|
Steamboat 6th grader Oliver Dalzell is in his second year with the U12 Nordic Combined team and has been skiing and jumping with the SSWSC since starting with the Little Toots program when he was three years old. U12 Head Coach Josh Hanson wrote in his nomination, “Oliver has spent the past two seasons working hard on his cross country technique and likes to push at the front of the pack in practice. This summer, he has focused on the fundamentals of his jumping, and the work is paying off: During this summer’s annual ‘flight camp’ in Park City, UT, Oliver jumped the 100-meter hill used in the 2002 Olympics for the first time!” Way to go, Oliver! |

SSWSC Snowboard ProAm Athlete Qualifies for Project Gold
Tatum Lightner has been part of the SSWSC Snowboard Program for nine years and has recently been training and racing with ProAm SBX Team for the last three. Her progression through these years has qualified her to race in the Holeshot SBX tour, as well as the NorAm circuit. These SBX races take place in Canada as well as in the US. Tatum has been consistently taking her training to the next level with a lot of persistence and grit. This last season, her dedication and hard work earned her a 3rd place finish in the Holeshot tour. This accomplishment helped her meet the criteria to be invited to "Project Gold Camp."
Summary of Objective Selection for Project Gold: U.S. SKI & SNOWBOARD Selection criteria will be based exclusively on performances during the period from November 1, 2021, through April 15, 2022. Athletes must be between ages 14 - 20 for Snowboardcross. Athletes in each discipline shall be selected based solely upon their competition results for each discipline in selection events during the selection period. Athletes will be selected objectively using the following: Top five (5) male and female junior athletes from each Hole Shot event*
Project Gold is a training camp that offers the opportunity for top-level athletes to be coached by the country's top coaches, including the US Team coaches, and train at the COE (Center of Excellence) in Park City. At the camp, athletes learn more about nutrition, strength and conditioning, personal sport psychology, personal branding, and new techniques and tactics to apply to their riding.
Upon Tatum's return from Project Gold in late August, we asked her what her takeaway was, and she spoke the most about the mental mindset and what it means to be in a "flow state." She feels that she now has more confidence in her pre-race routines and habits.
We could not be prouder of the hard work and Grit that Tatum has put forth in her training. She is a talented racer that gives back to her community and team. This summer, she was a junior skate coach and a great mentor to our younger racers coming through the snowboard race programs. Keep it up, Tatum!
