NZ: Day 10


We had another fantastic day of skiing today! The snow report called for a blue sky day and boy, was it beauteous. We continued our GS training after a relaxing day off at the beach. The timer was broken out for the first time and Libby (aka DI) did a great job setting it up. Our course was sandwiched between the Canadian’s two courses. When we stood in the start gate we could look left and watch a few of the best slalom skiers in the world or to the right and watch a few of the best super g skiers in the world. Not bad at all.
The Canadians are practically family now that we’ve been training alongside them for the entire trip. So it was sad to hear that the tech team is moving on to Coronett Peaks to train slalom on injected snow. We were reminiscing of all the effort we put into discreetly scoring a chairlift ride with them (maybe that was just me) when Dani found out that the speed team is moving into our hotel. Erin Mielzynski was nice enough to take a picture with me before she left.

That’s all for now. I’m off to play our nightly game of Monopoly Deal.
