Bluster

It was a bit wintry out on the hill today at Loveland for our last day of giant slalom training. Somebody told me highest wind gust recorded on the mountain was around 70mph. Yesterday the French women's World Cup team trained on the hill immediately after us and asked us not to slip in the berms when we were done set so they could use Sparky's GS set. Today we trained after the French and they returned the favor, letting us use the training course they'd set. Tomorrow we move to Vail for slalom training.

When training is over, it's not really over. Taking panels off today's GS gates to turn them in to tomorrow's slalom gates.
