frozen.. like we were today, and likely tomorrow..
A few more swear words than some would care to admit were
thrown around this morning as we entered the, to put it lightly, soul crushing
abominably freezing abyss. As if a whopping -22 degrees Celsius wasn’t bad enough,
Super G was the chosen discipline.
We had the pleasure of training with the
CHUOH University ski team (originating from Japan) this morning before
switching to our GS skis.
“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.”

A tricky delay exit and a very well shaped bottom
section proved difficult to finish for some, however successful and very fast
skiing for most. We then proceeded to a cardio workout in the Panorama gym followed
by a delicious sundried tomato & shrimp alfredo carbonerra (curtosey of Coach
Kat), and a quick round of dish washing ski trivia. The girls are just about
finished cleaning every single last dish in the kitchen (not because they beat
us but because their cleaning skills aren’t nearly as good as their trivia
skills – we’ll take what we can get). The rest of the team is off to prepare both
pairs of skis for a presumably long and hard day tomorrow mimicking exactly
what we did today. Please find below a few videos and some photos of some of the best doing
what they do helping us to reach our goals and inspiring us to keep on trekking
through the cold.
Here’s Ted ripping some GS on the Sochi Olympic
run last year. Never gets old and makes for some great motivation…
Here are some photos of us boys. The authors of your blog tonight ripping in the cold today:
