Hola de Chile!

Hi Everyone,

It has been a great few days sown here.  After a block of epic training and some immaculate powder, we decided to take two days off going into our last block of the camp.  On our second day off, we drove down the switch backs into Santiago.  It was a very interesting day.  After spending some time in the market, we headed back up to La Parva.  The drive is pretty uncomfortable with all the switchbacks, but a really incredible experience.  Chile is a beautiful country.  The country is rugged, and living here must take some toughness.

After two days off everyone is feeling rested and excited to hammer our last four day of training.  The snow is starting to really set up well after the dump five days ago and everything looks good for the next four days.  We have some really exciting stuff coming up, namely some downhill training tomorrow after a GS session.  Overall the team is amped and enthusiasm is really high.  We're all really psyched about the direction we're going.  Stay turned for our final training block before some of us head back home to hit the gym and the books while some of us stay for some speed races here at La Parva.  A huge thank you to those that made this opportunity possible for all of us!  Until next time, adios!  -Sam Coffin and Andrzej Dziediz
