First Days of Colorado

As a ski racer, we strive for as much snow time as we can possibly get. It is quite popular for teams to spend the beginning of their season in Colorado. Fortunately, this is where I am spending the next two weeks with my team. We are skiing mostly out of Copper and already getting lots of training in. We got in just before the weekend and have been "shredding" ever since. The weather is nice and the snow is even better. Many are still adjusting to the high altitude, as we are sleeping at 10,000 feet! It becomes hard to recover from a tough day on snow. We have been on snow 3 days total and some took an off day today. However, the weather and snow was too good for that. I was allowed to get an hour in but still enjoyed some rest. Hopefully we will have some great days ahead!
