This will have to wait, I’m struggling to do a bulk upload to my SFTP server (I get a lot of “preparing to copy…” and then usually an ExpanDrive disconnect) and I refuse to do them all individually TTW. Maybe from Rogla.
Ready for Rogla

We’re loading the vans for tomorrow’s 10 hour drive to Slovenia, and I’m bringing with me a healthy balance of acceptance, frustration, optimism and readiness after this weekends OPAs. FIS has results from at least Sunday’s race, and FasterSkier has an article, but I will go into a little more detail here than what you might get by reading those links – at least as far as my races are concerned.
The Views That Could Have Been
· Mar 5, 06:06 AM
Yesterday afternoon, in an effort to escape the clouds and rain of our mountainside home, a few of us took a field trip down to Chambery. We spent a few hours walking around the old city. We saw at least some of the tourist sites, including the Cathedral, the residence of the Dukes of Savoie (not to be confused with Le Château) and the (former) residence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. We sampled the sweets from a few bakeries, and I learned that local banks won’t turn Francs into Euros unless you are a client. I am not a client. I still have my Swiss Francs – which aren’t very useful here.

Aspen with pictures

I’ve been in Aspen for about a week now, and it has been great. We’ve been treated to some sunny days, some fresh snow and have been enjoying some great host housing (thanks Ruthie and Al!). I took a few pictures on Thursday when we previewed the course for today’s Owl Creek Chase, but once the snow started on Friday I put the camera away.

The second half of this slideshow pretty much covers it.

Sunny Sun Valley

There are some days where it is really nice to be a skier. Today was one of those days. We skied the Billy’s Bridge and Prairie Creek Loops, which were both new trails for me. Despite warmer than normal temperatures (well into the 30s in the afternoon), the snow here remains quite cold. Hard to imagine a nicer day.
