Well, I'm a little late getting back on the blog; we've just finished the sixth day of training in Colorado. We are presently training with Michel Pratte and Matt Kerr, and will continue to do so next week. Then Scott joins the US Ski Team for two weeks of training at Loveland, Colorado. None of this could happen without the generousity and patience of our good friends JJ and Laura Johns, who host us while training here.
Scott had a great first week with sunshine and good, hard, snow. He continued the patterning from Zermatt, and put down the gas. Several special oportunities enhanced an already great situation. Matt got Scott included in a full-on Giant Slalom session with the Bristish Columbia Ski Team one morning. The combination of a 1 minute plus course, bibs and timing created intensity and brought out the best in everyone. Scott fared well against this elite group. Later in the week, US Ski Team member Colby Granstrom (an 18 point Slalom racer) joined us for a day of Slalom and two days of Giant Slalom. Miles Fink-Debray, a top Giant slalom racer, also joined us for the Giant Slalom days. Scott measured up well with the big guys and learned alot. There is a fun dartfish video of Scott and Colby at www.youtube.com Search with "Scott Snow ski Colorado Nov 2009"
