After eight hours of driving, a whole lot of coffee
and donuts (Thanks Kalle!), and a couple stops along the way to pick up the
stragglers, (most of) the team made it to Monte Sainte Anne yesterday evening.
Everyone is in good spirits and excited for a great week of skiing! Josh was so excited he decided to eat mayonnaise while staring down Eliza...it was great...
The vans rolled out at 8:15am today for an easy skate
ski. Everyone was little unsure as to what the conditions would be like
considering how warm and rainy it's been. To our pleasant surprise, the
skiing is really great! In the words of Jack Schrupp:
"The conditions are impeccable. Race skis
only. Matter of fact, just take the cutest puppy you can find and strap
it to your boots. Then, fill your water-belts with champagne, replace your
Williams tights with cashmere long johns, and use maple butter and brie instead
of klister."
Jason and I watched as the whole team ditched us as we were getting
ready to hit the trails. It worked out ok though. We found some
sweet terrain to beat them up with for intervals and TT's later in the week.

We headed out this afternoon for an easy classic ski. Luckily, hardwax kick was bombproof!
