The last couple days have brought some clouds to the Palmer Snowfield. We've skied in variations of full visibility to almost none (today). The fog and clouds made for great drill time though! The athletes are working hard whether it is mastering an edging drill where they make no turns for run after run, or seeing how close they can get their hip to the snow without falling inside. The U.S. Women's Europa Cup Speed Team and Development Team have been here the last couple days too, so the athletes have enjoyed meeting and watching some top notch skiers.
Yesterday's dryland was another good one. The athletes worked their way through a tough hamstring, glute, and core workout, only to be followed by an even harder team pull-up and push-up competition. See the fun in the photos below.
Today's dryland took us to Trillium Lake, just 10 minutes from Government Camp, for a recovery walk around the lake and a swim for the daring. (It wasn't actually THAT cold.)
Tomorrow is our last day on the hill and we're hoping to be above the clouds this time...
