Just a quick update on AST. We arrived in Copper Mountain, Colorado on Sunday and resumed our on-snow training on Monday. Tomorrow will be our fifth day on snow and the conditions are only getting better. There’s hardly anybody here right as they just opened for training and most teams haven’t arrived yet. So, needless to say we’ve been ramping up the volume while we have the place pretty much to ourselves.
On a side not, Josh had a little accident today. He dislocated his pinky on the base of a stubbie gate and it broke through the skin on his palm! I thought for sure he had compound fractured it…I mean it was poking out of his hand! But, miraculously, he not only didn’t break it but he also didn’t tear any ligaments. He went to the Steadman-Hawkins clinic in Vail to get cleaned up by our friend and one of the best orthopedic surgeons around, Tom Hackett. If all goes well, Hackett thinks Josh should be back on snow by Tuesday.
That’s it for now,
Zac
