The Best Young Racers in PA

[Papasteeze]

huh?

 

maybe I don't know enough about the Piche's but the way it has been explained to me by some other race parents was not to bother with it in comparison with the sno mtn race on the same weekend.

A lot of PARA parents have blown off the Piche in recent years...but, the way I look at it, it's a chance to go to New England and beat some of the best racers up there. If people want to blow off Piche, then why not also blow off USSA and just ski FIS Open races? I'd never tell my kid to turn down a bib number...

well ok... but what if your kid told you that it wasn't any fun and would rather go to a fun race instead, would you still try and reason them out of the decision?

I'm not saying you or the other parents are wrong...I'm just saying what I'd do. And to be blunt, Rob, I'd be really disappointed in Ty if she earned a spot in a race and declined the bib because it was a second level race.

 

I know some parents turn down Piche because it's another expense at the end of an expensive season. I can appreciate that. And that makes it a family decision.

 

I guess in a perfect world, I want my kid to always want to take a shot when they are given an opportunity. But there are different dynamics with each kid and each situtation. Maybe it's just best that Ridge wants to back off right now. If so, then that's probably best for him. Let him come back next season and kill it.

THe Derbie results are posted now, Ridge missed the state team (whatever that entitles you to) by one point.
