Cota 07 second at Olympic Trials!

CVA Mogul Team Alum Jeremy Cota places 2nd at Olympic Trials! It is a little bittersweet that Jeremy did not get the golden ticket to the Olympics but being beat by the reigning world champion is not so bad. CVA alum Dave DiGravio placed 7th with a good run. It was a tough field with most of the scores packed within a half a point of each other making it a tough call for the judges.

Day 2 U.S. Selections

CVA alum and U.S. Ski Team member Jeremy Cota takes second place and CVA alum Alison DiGravio takes another third in day two of U.S. Selections at Winter Park Colorado. Alison was tied for second for both days and just missed a shot at going to Olympic trials and World Cup starts by virtue of a tie breaker. Jeremy was second overall for both days and is guaranteed domestic World Cup starts for the 2010 season.

Woo Wins Korean Nationals March 02, 2009

Woo Wins Korean Nationals Mar 02, 2009
Competing at the Korean Freestyle Nationals in late January CVA junior Woo Hyun Cho arrived to challenge his country’s national team members as a relative unknown. For the past 4 years Woo has been a student-athlete at CVA competing in the United States and Canada with CVA’s NorAm mogul team. After the dust settled from his reintroduction into Korean Freestyle Association competition at Nationals, Woo emerged as Korea’s highest scoring mogul skier. After stepping onto the podium at Nationals Woo gained himself a spot on the Korean National Team. Next he flew from Korea to NorAms in Calgary and from there he boarded a plane for Russia to compete with his Korean teammates at FIS events. With enough FIS points Woo could qualify for the Olympics.
