To all, I would like you to know what an incredible past three weeks the
eastern development program has had. It started off with an incredible
J3 Finals event at Okemo Mt., from there Waterville Valley and WBBTS
hosted the eastern J3 Junior Olympics and wrapped up this past weekend
back at Okemo Mt. for the J4 Whistler Cup Shootout and Future Stars
festival. As you know, each of these events spreads out over a five-day
period. Both hosts Okemo and OMS and Waterville (WBBTS) did an amazing
job of organizing on and off hill events for the athletes.  Both hosts
were completely prepared for their events and ran them extremely well.
I had many parents and coaches come to me and say those were the best
Finals, JO's and Future Stars events they had ever been to. It is
incredibly difficult to run an event, never mind an event spanning over 4
or 5 days. A ton of hard work went in to all of these events and kudos
to both hosts on jobs extremely well done. Thank you for all of your
hard work and please look for my reports on these events in the next day
or two.

Best,

Alex Krebs
Eastern Development and Competitions Manager
U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association

Dear Junior Olympic Athlete:
Congratulations on qualifying to take part in the USSA Junior Olympics. This is a
great honor and you should be very proud of your accomplishment. It takes a lot
of preparation, training and hard work to get to this point. Your dedication has
singled you out as a top athlete in your sport.
    It is clear that you and many of your fellow athletes have dreams and goals of
someday being a part of the U.S. Ski Team or competing in the Olympics. Your
achievement at the Junior Olympic level is a very important stepping stone. As
we watch the success of many athletes who have developed through the USSA
pipeline, we are confident that you are on the right track to victory.
    The USSA encourages you to take advantage of this awesome opportunity and
to push yourself to meet our vision of Best in the World. Be sure to thank those
who have helped you get here – your parents, your friends, your coaches, your
local resort and others. When I was a young athlete in Aspen, my coach taught
me the importance of recognizing those who helped me along the way. Those
simple thank you’s from 30-40 years ago continue to benefit me today.
    This has been an exciting year for the U.S. Ski Team with World Cup wins in
alpine, cross country and nordic combined. I am sure the success of Lindsey
Vonn, Kikkan Randall and Bill Demong will be an inspiration to you.
    I wish you luck and hope you have a successful Junior Olympics.
Sincerely,
Bill Marolt
President & CEO
U.S. Ski & Snowboard Association

risk of injury to any and all parts of my body. I understand that there are numerous risks and dangers

does not lessen the amount or severity of the risks of these activities. I understand that WVSRI is not
responsible for my safety. It is further understood that training or racing competitively is more
HAZARDOUS than recreational skiing. Furthermore, I understand that I must keep deliberate and
conscious control of my physical body, both on the ground and in the air, while properly using my
equipment in variable weather, snow and terrain conditions.
2. I hereby certify that I am physically fit and have no medical conditions or allergies that affect my

Lodging in Waterville Valley, NH
for J3 Olympics
Listed below are the lodging packages offered by lodging locations in Waterville Valley, NH to
J3 Olympic athletes, their families and coaches from Sunday, March 9 through Wednesday,
March 12, 2008. When calling to book accommodations please mention “J3 Olympics” in order
to obtain the below special J3 Olympics rates. THERE IS LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE IN
WATERVILLE VALLEY SO PLEASE BOOK RIGHT AWAY. The next closest lodging is in
Campton, NH, approximately 15 miles outside of Waterville Valley.
If you are planning to arrive on Saturday for the J3 Olympics, please note that there is extremely
limited availability on Saturday night (and as a result no J3 Olympics lodging specials are
available on Saturday night) due to major events taking place in Waterville Valley over the
weekend which had pre-booked Saturday night lodging long in advance of our event. The lodges
are offering a special J3 Olympics rate starting Sunday evening, March 9 which they hope will
serve as an incentive to those J3 participants who arrive a day early on Saturday and cannot find
accommodations in the Valley on Saturday night, to move into Waterville Valley for a Sunday
through Wednesday stay.
