Chile, Summer update by Conrad


First week here in Chile is almost in the books with a well-earned day off starting in less than 12 hours! Quick recap of the first days on snow: Sun, Ice, Steeps, Rollers, Right rippin' skiing, some Tired legs, and Smiles too big to measure with a conventional slalom tape. Here is some proof, although the smiles part you'll just have to take our word on.

Coming up on the end of week 2 here in Chile, and despite the name things are really heating up! Temperatures AND skiing. Over the last few days the athletes were subjected to some high speed SG, a lot more sun, stunning views, and a couple of very early season races to top it all off. Morale is higher than the 3000+ meter altitude we're training at, and the crew is ready for more!

After what has probably been a lifetime of looking for love in all the wrong places, Terry Fox the Chilean street dog took a chance on us and finally found what he's been looking for all these years — with Yasmin, Boxie and Oscar.
