So the competition season is over, all the results have been sent in to USASA, and Whitney is ranked 7th in the country. We are so proud of her and all the hard work she's put in this year. After the crazy season she's had, she ended up doing really well.
USASA sent out the invites to Nationals today. As the Appalachian Series champion, Whitney got an automatic invite, which she accepted (obviously). It'll be interesting to see how big the field is this year. The series champions get automatic invites, then they'll fill out the field by going down the rankings. They invite up to 35 girls in her age group, but last year there were only 22 there. Snowboarding girls are few and far between. It's pretty easy to get an invite to Nationals if you're a girl involved in bx; even though they invite twice as many boys, it's harder to get invited since there's a lot more that participate.
We have our flights booked, room reservations made, shuttle from the airport is set. Now we just need to get in a few more practice days before we head out to Colorado. She decided that she didn't want to spend any more time in the car driving up to New Hampshire again so we're staying home. A cold front is coming through tonight and it'll be a good day on the slopes here tomorrow. We'll head down again on Saturday. New England is getting a pretty good snow storm today/tonight/tomorrow and she may regret not wanting to head back up for some fresh powder. It's off to Colorado on the 28th, ready or not.
