Our Journey

Today was our first official day back on “tour.”  Although, I’ve been in Holland for a few days now the boys just arrived yesterday as well as the rest of the teams.  It’s great to see everyone, but also interesting to get back on snow during “all train” (when all teams train on the race slope together).  It’s hectic, everyone has some nerves, but overall it’s a great feel.  Except for the fact that we aren’t looking over some beautiful mountain landscape from the top of the mountain.  We’re indoors, looking at a ceiling, a flat slope, and windows into the bar at the bottom!  So funny!!! For those who have never experienced indoor riding… It’s a trip!  I’ll try to take a photo and post it for everyone to see.  But regardless, it’s doing the trick!  We’ve got great snow, there’s no possibility for bad weather, and we’re back riding as a team again.  

I have been here free-riding for a couple of days, which was going super well.  I was feeling very strong and confident on my board.  Today in gates was a little more tricky to get the timing down, but by the end I found the rhythm.  So tomorrow just a short day (maybe 3 runs) to get some good feelings, a little recovery training, and I’ll be ready to rock on Friday! (Race Day, just in case you didn’t know:))

We also got our new speed suits.. VERY exciting!! They were sent to Josh’s house, so he brought them over and they look AWESOME!  Thank you to BCF for the great design (and hard work that went into the logistics). And thank you to Vist for manufacturing them.  They look sharp and fast!
