We're in Park City, UT getting ready for the NDS races. The Olympians are returning to the US for a four race tune-up this week. The rest of the US team plus selected invitees will participate. Not only is this a unique opportunity, but the points should be pretty good. So Scott and I came down two days early to prepare. Mostly I wanted to get him on the race hill (which is heavily injected with water) and feel the surface. We ran Giant Slalom today and he's ripping, so tomorrow will be a "day off" with school and physical training.
Scott broke both pairs of his slalom skis last week. Atomic rushed one set directly here to Park City, and the other set should arrive any time. So my entertainment today was six hours of set-up and initial tuning. I have three days to get about six more coats of wax into the base before the slalom races on the 17th. Ah, another ski vacation!
After these races we head to Aspen for a week of NORAM speed (Super G, Super combined and two downhills). Then we have the National Championship Downhill at Aspen. After that we have two days to get to Maine for the J2 National Championships, followed by the NORAM Finals in Vermont and the US National Championships (GS, SL, SG) at Lake Placid. We'll hit one race in Minnisota on the way home, then hang up the skis at the end of March. The season is flying by...
