With day 7 complete, our guest bloggers tonight are Linley and Sandra. We had another great day of GS, this time incorporating actual GS gates. We still used the top brush as if we were skiing an apex course, but used a full GS gate in place of the bottom brush. It was a nice change of pace for the girls as it gave them a different visual while skiing.
Today we were treated with a half an hour sleep in. It was a relaxing morning but of course Lori
didn't want us to get too comfortable so she scheduled a morning session of
study hall. After study hall, we had
lunch at 11 and we were out on the hill by 11:30. The conditions today were “awesome” says
Sandra. Today was exciting because it
was the first day we were in gates! Most
people were satisfied with their run, but a few girls still hoped for the
better. Nevertheless, our coaches,
Topher, Garrett, Jamie, and Michael were there to comfort us if we needed it or
push us to our bitter end. We had quite
a bit of free time today after training to do whatever we pleased. Some of us joined the boys for an intense
game of Swedish, which sadly there was no winner. Others went into town, tuned skis, showered,
or did homework. Everyone is getting
pumped up to go watch Birds of Prey on Sunday, especially because we will be
watching MMWA's very own Robby Kelly in the GS!
Robby is really cute... Shout out to mom and dad... specifically Sandra
and mine's moms... Deb & Deb!
Below are a few pictures from today as well as two "shots of the day!" Unfortunately, my camera died early during the session so I was only able to snap a few shots of the athletes today. I'll have more up tomorrow...
