Austria Day 1: Finally Arriving this Morning, Hitting the Slopes this Afternoon.


Greetings from Stubai! Having arrived in Munich after a two day trip for a few of us (thanks to this year's typical east coast weather shutting down Newark airport for a few hours on Friday and leading to missed connections), we hit the road and made it onto the glacier for an hour of freeskiing GS to work out the stiff muscles and rust. After getting back into our home base of Patsch, we did an anaerobic agility session to flush out the legs after being idle for a couple of days(see video).
The guys will be ready and are fired up to start the short yet very intense remainder of this race prep camp with some GS on relatively moderate terrain tomorrow. They are also psyched for next Sunday, where they will attend their first live Men's World Cup, The GS opener in Soelden, just up the road from Patsch. Expect 15-20,000 fans in attendance. It will be a great experience for everyone, and they might even learn a trick or two from the pros.
