Whistler Village
We took some time in the evening to visit "The Village" and were pleasantly surprised.
Major work on Joker's Traverse
We had loads of snow to remove from the ladies track. The training run was cancelled, and it seems like a lot of work for nothing!
5 am start!
We ended up starting before the sun today. This is us at the "mid-station" waiting for our dispatch to work our section. It is tough skiing in the dark!Thursday, February 11, 2010
Coaches corner - men's
This is the view from the gondola onto the men's and ladie's tracks- men's below, ladies to the left. (Notice the fog...and the rain!)First day on the hill.
We had our training and met up with Linda from our Coyotes Crew. It rained...again today...Accreditation
When we got there, we had to get our photos done, registered and our new uniforms....all of us look like smurfs...
We've arrived!
And guess what??? It's raining...and raining....and...well, you can see for yourself!
