Hi to all,
As the fall arrived in Ottawa, our athletes were getting ready for their second pre-season camp. After a successful trip to Chile, all went back home to start the school year and log in a few valuable workouts before departing to Hintertux, in Austria.
We were able to fly from Ottawa to Munich, stopping in Toronto along the way. The plane landed in Germany on Saturday at 11AM after leaving Ottawa at 5PM the day before. We then got our bags, packed our rental vans, drove down the autobahn to Mayerhofer (AT), and then up the Zillertal valley to our hotel in Finkenberg. The place is 14km away from the first of three gondolas to the glacier. Everybody seems to be thrilled about the nice rooms, the comfortable beds, the good food and mostly, the hot showers!

Today was our first day on snow, and skiing was pretty good even if we had to deal with heavy fog at some moments. It was also the first day where all the team was skiing together. We were happy to see Erin and Hannah back on snow after recovering from injuries, and Jared who has been busy with an intense paddling season. After a great lunch and some school work, the team went out for a run and a stretch on the hiking trails above the valley before coming back to finish with core work.
Tomorrow will be freeski and slalom gates on lane 13! We'll be training on the glacier with about 60 other teams... We are looking forward to show them that Canadians are the fastest!
