Colorado Day 2 - Happy Turkey Day!

Colorado did not disappoint.  It was sunny again, as promised.  The day started out with some drills and fine tuning.  In the afternoon, we returned our our trusty GS Hill, Hughs.  Again, we were spoiled and had the trail to ourselves.  The team was really focused and hammered out about six runs in our afternoon session.  

It is really great to be on snow with everyone.  We've got an 'American' Thanksgiving dinner (that what the Canadians are calling it) planned tonight at Deno's.  We are all happy and tired but excited to get recharged and get more done tomorrow am!

Thanks for the awesome training today, team.

Colorado Day 1 - 2013

We made it out to the Wild West.  A small group of us arrived last night and had a wonderful day of training in glorious western sunshine.  The rest of the team arrived later, in time to catch 4 or 5 runs at the end of the day.

The sun was out and the snow was hard.  We moved quickly from free skiing to brushes to GS gates.  The day ended with a nice pool cool down.

Here are some photos from early in the day.  Everyone was very happy to be back in their native environment.

And Finally, from our not-so-dryland session -

The 2013-14 Season is Just About Upon Us

Some athletes took their first turns this weekend at Jiminy Peak.  I haven't heard reviews but took a drive up on Friday and saw this nice white ribbon of a trail.  We leave for Colorado a week from tomorrow so papers are being finalized and skis prepped.  Everyone is gathering up their snow pants, helmets and mittens.  Its almost time for the best part of the year.
