Training, finally!

Yesterday we started training here at Kvitfjell!  Yesterday we got do some good tough training in the national slope, which used to be the women's downhill course at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic games.  The top section is pretty steep with some gnarly roll overs, and the botom half is pretty flat and its a real thigh burner!  So we got probably six or seven good runs on that one, just getting a feel for the snow here, then did some good free skiing drills in the afternoon.  This morning we set up a brush course on the training slope to work on the form and do some skating.  In the afternoon we ventured down to the bottom half of the olympic downhill to do some jump training on the maaasssiiivveeee drop offs down there!  It was really fun, but a litte scary do hit some of the jumps. We were going quittteee a long ways on some of those jumps.  Tomorrow we will be back on the national slope for more good training!  Hopefully my skis get here soon so that I can get em fasstt!!
