The ski season is finally underway! The first World Cup at Soelden was a success. Ted Ligety came in 3rd and Lindsey Vonn was 9th, both leading the U.S. in alpine.
My coaches clinics begin on November 14. I am planning on traveling to a few of the clinics to become more educated in my current career. I figured I should probably know what goes on at these events so I can be consistant in my answers to people's questions. Some options in locations would be Steamboat Springs, Winter Park, Big Sky, and possibly Bogus Basin. If Bogus is an option, then I will definitely head there to visit BFF Amy! Although, anywhere in Colorado would be great. I haven't skied at Steamboat or Winter Park.
This weekend is the Park City Ski Swap!! I'm looking for new boots, and possibly some cross country equipment. My mom and I are going to look for new skis for my dad since his are 1970's Kastles....picture those!! They're the kind you make a shotski out of, or maybe a ski chair, anything but actually skiing on them!
On a low note, it's been in the high 50s in Park City the past few days, AKA T-shirt weather. There's no snow on the ground and it's not cold enough to blow the snow guns. Park City Mountain Resort usually opens on Thanksgiving weekend and Deer Valley is scheduled to open on December 5. Right now, November 5, it doesn't look good, and it's kind of depressing. I'm ready for snow and I'm more than ready to put my skis on! Let's all pray to the snow gods!
