Tomorrow we go

The ladies were under way today and tomorrow it's our turn. 

The courses here are beautiful. They are set around a hilltop overlooking the town and a really exposed which means it can get quite windy. Yesterday it was blowing hard and snowing so some places the course was icy fast and others you had snow drifts... today was much nicer.

It skis a lot like Soldier Hollow but a little bit bigger to make up for it being at low altitude. A lot of fun to ski when you are feeling good and brutal if you are having a bad day. It has two major climbs, a few minor ones that are still as big a anything we have seen in the US this year, and some gradual and flats thrown in between but everything is skiable. US course designers could learn some things from these guys... 

So I've been classic skiing better than ever, feel good, dig the course, and I can watch the new Lost episode online tonight... all good.
