The team just got back from a darn good training camp in Granby. We left Wyoming for Granby wednesday afternoon and got there in time for a nice ski at Snow Mountain Ranch (SMR). Then we convoyed up to our digs for the rest of the week...SICK! Christi and Rachel did a great job of finding some ritzy places, hot tubs and everything. More on the hut tubs later. Thanksgiving morning we had a nice, long ski. Bluebird skies and good snow. That evening we gathered for Thanksgiving feast, and boy was it a good one. Food galore! Smoked turkeys, potatoes, yams, stuffing, green beans, pies...the list goes on and on. Needless to say we didn't have to cook any food Friday night. Friday night also was a hot tub night. The coaches took a dip in their tub prior to dinner and just after food was all taken care off starting feeling pretty goofy. Awful...unfortunately they ended their camp to come home and dominate the illness. As for the rest of us kids, we kept on trucking. Saturday we did some technique work and a few took part in a time trial. DU skiers there thought we were crazy for going down the huge icy hill, but we're from Wyoming and thats how we roll. Saturday night was a little last night of camp hoo rah with some time skiing at Sol Vista in the dark and before they were open. Not the best skiing but fun none the less. The skiing was followed by ice cream and the OC, every teenage girl's dream.
As for my self I spent the better part of November skiing without poles due to a fractured thumb. Yeah, just can't take care of myself. Good news is that its healing and I got a smaller splint that allows my thumb to fit in my gloves, so now I can finally do some real skiing
Well Happy Jack is looking stellar see you out there!

P.S. I beat Marie in the last 5@5, she had poles and I didn't, that'll teach her to talk smack!
