Busy weekend. On Saturday, I had GS training at the mountain all morning, and then we came back down for my first soccer game of the season. It was a beautiful day.
On Sunday, we had our last Mini-World Cup race of the season and end-of-the-season awards and BBQ. Team Österreich (Matthew thinks he is giving me rabbit ears, even though he is about a foot too short – and wearing mittens!):
The race was an untimed dual slalom. We got a ton of runs and had a blast. I even got to race The Mother, though Dad had a camera malfunction, and there is no video evidence. Here I am racing some of my teammates:
After the race we had a BBQ, and then awards. I received a number of awards. First was the Arc City Award, given to the group of Mini World Cuppers that really know how to arc (see photos above):
MBSEF’s values are Commitment, Honesty, Accountability, Sportsmanship, and Excellence – CHASE. Each year, they give the CHASE Award to the skier that best embodies those values. Marti won this year, but I was one of the nominees. The Bigs were very proud of me for this, even though I didn’t even win the award!
Finally, they gave out the overall season awards. I was the 2025 U10 Mini World Cup Champion!
We tried a couple of exciting new recipes this week. Mustardy cheesy cauliflower:
And, Race-Day Muffins:
Nice weather to wrap up one sport and start into another. You look like a pro in both Emmett. Can’t wait to see you in 10 days or so.
soccer and shorts and then ski clothes and snow!!!! what a crazy life you have, but fun, fun.. always fun things to do.
Congratulaions on your win. you earned it. I bet the mother wasn’t too happy you beat her.
cheesy cauliflower looks good.
you are a busy boy. when papa gets there I hope you don’t run him ragged!!! because that would mean pop and I will be😂😂
Wow do you look aggressive and determined in your soccer game. Hope you enjoy it. Your form in the World Cup looks better than I ever did. Great job and you earned it for all the hard work you put in. Make sure you keep Papa busy and enjoy your time with him.
That mustardy cheesy cauliflower looks wonderful!!
As does your arc in the slalom.. What form! Congrats on your awards.
Pretty aggressive looking at soccer practice.
