New Years Shenanigans and Zagreb race tomorrow!!

New Years on the GAISBERG!! (the name of the hill we train on!!)
Mulli took advantage of a clear morning and skinned up to the top! I was jealous!


Our view from training everyday!!! This day was a little cloudier than most....

But I thought the clouds looked cool and dramatic!!  An eerie way to bring in the new year.

SLALOM STARS!!! Em Brydon and Shona Ruby at the top before an epic ski-dooing slalom session...

LATER THAT NIGHT.....
Erik and his beautiful cute adorable daughter Logann.

The girls with the models! (girls= me, shona, mitch Models = Randall and Stef)

SMILE WITH YOUR EYES!!! LIKE Tyra Banks would say....

Trying to re-create Stef's model look from the other day with our prom dresses.... smile with the eyes and look like you don't care! hahaha.  I think Biggs was judging us from the background....

But then the boys got into it too!!! Biggs, Trev, Mike and Cousi smiling with their EYES! models or ski racers??? hahaha

Model mommy and baby.  Karen and Logann.... hard to take a bad picture of these two!


AND THEN!!! THE HIGHLIGHT OF NEW YEARS EVE!!
CATCH PHRASE!!
Intensity all around!! IT was a yelling, laughing, eye rolling hilarious game of catch phrase!!! One of my favourites was when Brad was up and he asked us "what you would buy your girlfriend before getting married...." And Cousi yelled "A WALLET..." hahaha i dont get it but it made us all laugh.  The real answer was Jewelry.... Good thing Cath (Cousi's wife) is cool and has a good sense of humour. haha.

Ahh Logann.  We danced! She's got moves!



NEXT DAY....
Last night the girls and I decided to go BACK to the Gaisberg and have dinner at the top of the hill!! They let us go 5 on the 4 person chairlift! Yay

Out Shadow vs. the Snowcat.....

Looking back down on Kirchberg

EVerybody cross your legs!!! ha.



SO EXCITED to eat at the GAISBERG!!  



A beautiful little Austrian Hut!  The GAISBERSTUBERL.....



And the amazing interior, Looking from upstairs down at the bar area.



One of my FAVOURITE Austrian dishes, Frittatensuppe.  (pancake soup!! MMMM!!)



Smile!! (not just with your eyes....)



It was cool to get back to our hotel a little later that night and walk in on a full on jam session!! A bunch of staff from men and womens sides were rocking out to their guitars and singing!! It was a memorable moment!


The new year was fun and training on the first went well!!  Tomorrow we have the race here (in Zagreb, Croatia)  I start 20!!

  1. Anna, all of Jackson Hole is thinking about you!!!! Chels, Stevie, and me are hoping you are ok, the knee heals fast, and that you come and bring the rehabed knee to the valley again to bring the noise with tubing down Flat Creek and biking up on Teton Pass! Speedy recovery girl!
