Despite the fatigue we still go through the agony of shopping, tanning, eating, and Wallyball with arduous deviations in Sorry (the board game) tournaments, Monopoly, and Uno. You might wonder how we even have time to ski.
Today was our second day on GS skis. The day was filled with solid improvements across the board and the rare exclamations of, “Good skiing!” from our modest instructors. We were also lucky to share the hill with Leif Haugen, a world cup skier from Norway, US nationals winner, and current DU ski team member. All the coaches waited in high anticipation for hours to snag a video clip of him. Unfortunately no one was able to catch him in action and to his dismay Kirk will not be able to show a video of him on repeat.
While the students are getting intense (and we mean INTENSE) on the Wallyball courts you may wonder what the coaches are doing with their free time. Prompted by John Dwyer the Burke coaching staff has begun Insanity…. The workout regimen. Too bad their newly developed cat-like reflexes couldn’t catch Leif on the hill.
On our fifteen minute shuttle ride to the mountain from our humble abode, the debate begins on what the weather is going to be on the other side of the Loveland Pass. Today (like almost every other day) we were pleasantly spoiled by the picturesque weather. Just since we’ve gotten here, the snow has been slowly deteriorating off the highest peaks of Loveland where you can almost make out the Lynx that are crossing (not really.) While tomorrow is our last day on snow everyone is riled up and ready to go for one more bluebird day.
XOXO,
Lizzi, Maddi, Jocelyn
