CRRAAZZY

The last couple days have been wild up here at Kvitfjell!  The alpine world cup is holding two downhills and a super g here starting on friday so all this week the "white circus"  has been pulling into town.  Needless to say we got booted from our hotel room and we are now staying in a cabin in the middle of the woods with no heat, no electricity, no running water, no beds, its quite the adventure.  Not to mention the fireplace fills the room with smoke unless all the windows and doors are open, so we are heating the place with a little woodstove...But on the bright side since the alpine world cup is here, the food has been spectacular.  We have been eating like kings.  its pretty cool to be staying in the same hotel as all the same skiing superstars that I have been watching on TV and at races.  Its nice to see them as real people without all the media and crazy fans and such, they will actually talk to you!  Tomorrow morning we are going to Hafjell for our official training day, and then friday we start racing!  Time to get after it!

Here is a little shot of...oh world cup downhill points leader Didier Cuche's DH race skis, prepped and ready to go!
