Chapter four: Bound for home

The sun returned at last, and even though it took its sweet time to get here I was happy as could be and stoked to start our three day Super-G block with the speed team. My impressions of the track were that it would be flat and easy, but after the longest T-bar ride ever it became apparent that there would be some challenges including snow that was…questionable at best. The day got my heart pumping though and was a good intro back to speed. My skiing and the conditions improved each day, in short I felt more like a ski racer and less like I was going to explode somewhere down the course. Being back on the hill made the days fly by and before I knew it I was looking at the last three days of potential skiing, I say potential because there was a big mother of a storm lurking somewhere on the horizon. GS kicked off no problem, and then slalom the next day and theeeeen that storm we heard about decided to drop by. It wasn’t nearly as bad as people had said but the 30 cm rule was in full effect putting an early end to our camp.

Fog? ...what a surprise, but was I worried? okay, maybe a little.

An hour later, Boom, we were above it.

Of course not every day was so nice.

Thanks to the boys for a sick camp despite the weather. Also a Huge congrats to Sasha  for skiing his way to a WC start in Levi! (for those who don't know, he's the big guy next to Phil...and Phil is the goof throwing gun hands at the camera)

So to give you the most vague summary I can, I went skiing, there were good times and bad times, fast runs and slow ones, improvement and frustrations, and then we did some other stuff too. I'll check back soon.
