Great day on snow. Started early with 6:30 tram to the glacier. Filled with WC coaches non-plused by the scenery. I was amazed by it. The Matterhorn was a muted shadow against the late night sky. Everything was still and beautiful. OK, enough of that stuff, let's talk skiing.
Great hard snow and plenty of vertical. Set a 38 gate GS today in two sections. Trained for about 4 hours. French team on the left, Crotia (with Kostelic) two lanes to the right. Scott was feelin' it. His stiffer boots/skis combo allows him to ski the longer line, yet still complete the carve. I think the summer of monster workouts played a role in this as well. He had three stellar runs, a few good runs, and a couple where he experimented and over-reached. A solid second day on skis and already noticeably faster than last year.
Tested one new wax product and it was fast. Will do comparative tests between the two products day after tomorrow. Getting a lot done but the combo of hiking, skiing, sun and altitude is taking it's toll. Hey, maybe I'll lose weight...
