Well we had about 9 inches of fresh snow fall overnight which is great for the local ski areas and powder hounds, but not the best conditions for super G training. With many slip runs and rakes and shovels we were able to get the course prepped and the athletes got some good training in. I was bundled up as much as possible and still freezing…and I thought I was cold during the last few days of football practice, yeah right! Ben left early this morning to drive over to Beaver Creek so I am excited to hear about his adventures during the second training run for the downhill at the Birds of Prey World Cup, he will be back tonight.

Update from Beaver Creek: well it’s not much of an update since they canceled the training run today and Ben spent three hours shoveling snow out of the course (notice a theme for today?). He reports they got about a foot snow overnight so they had their work cut out for them. Hopefully they will have good weather the rest of the week and get the races off.
