Sunny and Snowy in Solden and Pitztal

The weather finally settled down for a few days and the glaciers have been awesome! We just got 3 great days of Giant Slalom in the sun on Solden and Pitztal Glacier....  GS training has been really fun for me to get back into, and The Girls look ready to ROCK SOLDEN!! (Mitch, MP, Shona, Gen and Britt)

I can't wait to cheer them on! My poster idea is either

G'OH CANADA

or

CANADA: THE "EH" TEAM!

Either way, I am hoping to make the big screen with my sweet sign when the girls come through the finish line after RIPPING!!

Here are some scenic shots from the last few days.

Peeking through the snowy fence at the sunrise.  All the snow that accumulated last week during the storms!!

We woke up to a cloudy day at the hotel, but as we drove to the hill we emerged through the clouds into a beautiful sunny day!  It was Tres le amazing.

Looking down on the cloudy valley from midway through our GS course.

The clouds eventually melted away and the sun shone over the whole valley of Solden.

Pitztal this morning, red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.... hmmm.... hope that isn't a sign.  Although the rumour is that the  föhn (german for Chinook) is approaching...

And finally, looking down from the Pitztal glacier in the early morning. All the different team's courses fill the whole run.... it gets crazy!! Especially trying to load the train in the morning.  Talk about can of sardines type packing of human beings in a train....

Anyway, we are back in Solden and have 2 more days of training before the RACE.   I am going onto my 4th day in a row (a record for the last few years) of GS training!  So far so good, but I can't wait to get back on the short skis and start hitting some gates!!!

A la prochaine...
