Back at it!

Back at it!!! 

Yesterday, we got the bad weather that has been coming in from the west in the last week... It even snowed in Texas! Here in Maine we got rain. A lot of it... Skiing wasn't such an option and the whole mountain was pretty close to being closed. It was a good day for everybody to do homework and relax a little bit. The last week required hard work, especially with the icy runs here. 

Today, we made it up with a double gates session. The rain from yesterday flash froze and we found ourselves with super slick conditions! Good for the skiing, not so good for edges. The rest of the day was dedicaded to grocery shopping and tuning. We did 3 grocery stores and 1h30 of driving to finally realize that nothing was open today due to Thanksgiving holidays. We ended up buying 3 pounds of bacon, chicken, pastas and eggs at a gas station... 

The athletes just finished tuning their skis with the help of the snowglide. It was a hard day to be skis. 

Cheers!

Sunday River epicness!

Hi all,

Sorry for the late news, but we have been lacking Internet Signal here in the last few days. We arrived in Sunday River last Friday at night. Getting into Maine, we could already see snow on the ground and feel the colder air. We checked in our condos and then went for some grocery shopping.

Our first day on snow was great - the NCO athletes started off the day with some free skiing to get back into the rythm after one month off the snow. We trained some slalom gates in the afternoon. Sunday River presently has 20+ runs open, and conditions are unbelievable! Snow is hard, gripy and fast... We couldn't ask for more.

Our skiers are fast and the carry-over from Austria is great. The last camp was harder due to the unpredictable weather, but we are definitely seeing the results with our crew. Yesterday was a cold day and we had to wait to set our course because of the strong winds. We can say that the winds made it under -15 degrees for sure! Today was also very cold, but less windy. That being said, skiing is fantastic and everybody seems to be ripping. We are well on our way for a great season... We'll keep you guys updated as we know who will get in the first slalom races, here in Sunday River.

Cheers
