Noting like heading into a ski camp worried about the amount of snow, and then in the first few days have 2 or 3 feet of snow dump on the town. It's awesome. And that is exactly the case here in West Yellowstone this year. The first 4 days of our trip have been a white out blizzard here in town, with the strong winds and blowing snow just adding to it. The roads in and out of town are blocked by 8ft snow drifts since Monday and have just opened this afternoon (Wednesday). If this all sounds crazy, it is. But the best news of all of this, the skiing here is amazing! All this snow has packed down on the trails and everything is open, including all the roads :)
So, for all purposes of a training camp, we couldn't really ask for better conditions. We've been getting in huge hours each day, and the races that were supposed to start today will now start tomorrow. They were postponed due to cold temps and the race timer is one of the many people who have been stuck in Idaho Falls just waiting for the roads to open again. I can't wait for the racing. Our team is ready. Everyone is skiing really well and training serious.
Here are some pics from this week so far.
