ssmuushhh

So we FINALLYY got to ski today.  I was definitely in need of a little bit of good turns.  Contrary to yesterdays boilerplate snow, today we got about six cm's of warm slushy snow on top.  It totally made  the rock solid groomer underneath all soft.  So we skied for about an hour or half powder, half "slop pack" stuff.  The best way I could describe it was like skiing through really good mashed potatoes.  We finally have internet at our hotel, so thats great news, buutt I am still cashless, and we also cannot find a place to tune our skis...but there is a team captains meeting tomorrow, and we also are going to have official training tomorrow.  A lot of the teams are pulling into town today, but  I don't think any of them will be staying with us, we are in a cozy little place.  Its pretty much a big house.  A woman lives on the bottom floor with her husband and two kids, they kind of run the place.  There are four room upstairs, two of which are occupied by the US Team.  Thats okay, we are going to spend most of our time up in Oberjoch for dinner, captains meetings, tuning and such so we will be around the other nations plenty!  The mountain is beautiful!!  I am trying rather unsuccessfully to upload photos, but hopefully soon I can grab them and share them with ya'll!
