It has been quite some time since my last blog post, and I had intended to keep you all more informed, but unfortunately, there wasn't a whole lot to write about, then there was lots to write about, and no internet to write with! So I'lll give you the quick and dirty. For the last few weeks, I have been training with the steamboat springs winter sports club, pretty much every day. I have made some very good progress with my skiing, and I felt like I was skiing about as well as I could, until last thursday. I broke my thumb.....wah wah waaahhhhh. But Its not a serious break and it didn't require surgery! So I sucked up the pain and went down to Vail and raced. Around 70 people showed up to bash gates, and a fantastic time was had by all, especially this kid who skied a great race, skied penalty free (for once) and came home with the gold! It felt great to come away knowing that I am skiing as fast as I think I am, and that I am ready to throw it down on the world cup level!
I am currently sitting in Denver, awaiting my flight to Europe. Denver to London to Munich and a Train to Salzburg! This thursday we will open our World Cup season at Rauris in the heart of Austria!
Wish me luck!!
Happy trails, Cory. And congratulations on your win at Vail (did you ski the back bowls at all?!). Keep posting and I'll keep reading... mcs
